    In elementary school I was, along with a few other students,one of the best artists in my whole class.I would stay in indoors for recess some times just so I could work on a project.When the other kids would come back to class they would gather around my desk to see what I was doing.I got a lot of oohs and ahhs from the students. 'how do you that, it's amazing? I would say "I don't know, I just do, it's a natural talent, I guess.'

    Thanks for this video. I'm new to painting, and blind, and I really want to get into abstract. Knowing the techniques that work well is super helpful, because as you said you have to use technique even in the abstract. I'm only an artist in the sense that I find painting really fun, but I still want to try to produce something cool. So thanks for the clear tips and descriptions.

    This is a good synopsis for rank beginners to understand. But in my own view, abstract art is best not approached by rank beginners because there is so much more they need to accomplish first. I have become so picky that I do not really like most of what passes for abstract art. The reason is because I feel that most of what we see as displayed abstract art is, in my estimation, produced to mask the artist's real deficiencies in important artistic skills. Most abstract art is presented as just mushing things around willy nilly, and seeking certain "happy accidents". And this wildness and lack of control is supposed to be seen as "creativity in action". I don't see it that way, but expect much more thought, and real ideas to be behind serious abstract art. Because we see so little of this is why there is so little abstract art I find worthy of appreciation. I'm afraid I take it far more seriously than most existing "abstract" artists do.

    Downvoted because of the music. Tutorials are enough on their own with the voiceover. The music alienates a lot of people. There are many who will be triggered by sensory overload from the visual, voice and music. It's such a shame because it's an interesting video. If I, or someone else doesn't mention it, then video creators aren't aware of the problem and can't do something to help in future videos.
