How I created "Kelp Forest" - an ocean-inspired abstract painting
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I love the beach. The wilder, the better. The watery blues and greens in this painting remind me of summer days spent on the west coast of Vancouver island. Scavenging the beach for glass. Searching the tide pools for creatures. And if we were lucky, spotting sea otters resting in the kelp fronds, just offshore.
“Kelp Forest” captures these feelings for me, with it’s soft, organic shapes, ocean-inspired palette and hints of sunlight streaming through the water to reveal the bottom of the ocean. Join me in this 'painting process' video to see how I use stencils and brushes to create depth and translucency.

Thanks! I set it up a while ago as a place to store No Brush Required episodes off of Instagram. And am planning on creating new videos regularly. It's such fun!
So beautiful! It really illuminates off the canvas.

Thanks Lynn! My absolute favourites!
Love this, Tamara! I am just starting a botanical abstract collage and this technique will work really well for some of the background. Thanks for the inspiration.
