What a fun project piece and a heck of a nice guy.... but as myself a professional painter who started in realistic painting and then moved over to creating abstract paintings too.... I will state honestly that a quality abstract painting takes a heck of a lot of thought and time to get it where it looks and feels right. I also kept wanting to tell him, "rule of thirds", lol.

When he said "with abstract, there's nothing intentional about it," I almost choked on my soda

having watched this after about five BBC documentaries on the history of abstract art, I was also aghast. Abstract does *not* mean random. This is a neat, if expensive, craft project, not abstract art.

Five words come to mind, and I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way: Change Hands at a Hundred.

If it comes from the heart, then it is art

This is the cleanest studio I have ever seen

I liked the idea of using a rolling pin and the plastic. The colors were also so beautiful. I didn’t like the white spray paint though.If I was to use this technique, I’d dry pounce over the letters like a stencil.

did you guys noticed the emotion yall felt when he “ruined” the piece? that is what art and the process of art is about its not just what you see but the emotion you felt and feel while doing it

As an artist having worked in many forms, I STILL DO NOT COMPREHEND how doing a cool abstract painting is enhanced by big black letters stating a theory and obstructing there view to...AN ABSTRACT PAINTING!!! CRAZY STUFF!

Kind of art attack tv show about “abstract painting “ . For my opinion this is a kind of graphic design category

Uses a ton of paint ($$$$) and then covers everything in white!! (my heart is bleeding!) Plus I feel sooo friggin broke now! 😭

If he went left to right with the white gradient and stopped at the end of the letters, it would of shown the letters how he wanted PLUS the entire right side would have been left alone. Would've looked amazing.

You covered a beautiful painting with opaque white paint.

I can’t believe you were spray painting in your cute, new looking jeans! Fun project. I’d probably want more of the painting to show but hey it’s cool! Thanks!

"Call a museum and sell it." Hahaha good one.

I thought it was a fine technique lesson. Never thought of covering a base painting and rolling it out. I don't work big, but he gave me some ideas, and that's what teachers are supposed to do.

Cool technique with the rolling pin and masking for lettering. Although the end result is personally not my style it’s still cool. I can see utilizing these 2 techniques in my own artwork. I’ve often wanted to use topography in my art what a great way to do this! Thanks for sharing!

I’m a walking contradiction, so this type of abstract speaks to me like no other. I want to be vivid and minimalistic all at the same time. It’s sort of rebellious- I love it

Wutsinyourcup you can use a blown up ziplock bag or a freezer bag to get a similar effect on a smaller canvas. You don’t press as hard but it moves a little on the paint. Check acrylic pouring with Fiona on KZread. She has technique and makes gorgeous 3 -D flowers that way.

What is art and what is craft. For me this is a craft He knows what he is doing from the start. No surprises, no challenge And also is abstract an idea? Or is abstraction the absence on an idea? There is nothing abstract in a quote!

But don t ever call this abstract art! Let alone pretend that your video contains the truth about abstract art....It s painfull to watch.

Oh c'mon people, he is giving a demonstration about reaching a particular effect. As artists we would take the technique and adapt it to our own ideas. There is no need for derogatory or cruel commenting

The title is "How to Create Abstract Art", which is a pretty ambitious already. But the result just isn't compelling or the least bit interesting. Like others have already stated, covering all that paint with white ruined it. I thought he was going to dab it with a plastic bag or newspaper, like spray paint artists do. Nope, just covered it all up with white.

Stunning !!!!!

I have done this with my nails! With 2 colors and a white and when you put a clear gloss over, it’s CrAzY beautiful!

I love how excited abstract artists get. The little kid always comes out... Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!

What an interesting technique. I think this would be a fun project to do with my kids.

Art is good when it provokes emotion and looking at the comments it's certainly done that!! It's an idea/technique that can be used in many ways - great demo!

You covered all that abstract art that was so cool with the white. Bummer!

Good abstract is most definitely intentional.

Steven, we've been watching poured acrylic art, there's many online. ( It's quite abstract!) Your idea gives us an insight on how we can carry our poured acrylic one step further! Good to see you and hear your voice again... Paint On! 🌹

I which you had put the word art in also .Abstract is an art idea .Thank you for sharing

I used to do that to my bathroom walls. It was called Smooshing bzck then!! I am goi g to try the rolling pin...it looks beautifu!! You are amazing. Love your work...you have inspired me. Thank you!!💞🐕

I loved , and I can use my acrylic colours to do this. Good idea. Thank you so much !!!!🤗

His audience are the people who hang the word “DREAM” above their bed and “FOOD” in their kitchen.

An interesting, fun craft project. Cool rolling pin technique! Gotta try that. Looks very fun to do. Who cares if it's 'real' art or not? It's ok to have fun or just be a designer also. More videos like this, please! 💕

Wht a timing. For days ive been thinking of doing an abstract art n here comes ur painting. Thank you for the great easy idea. Also all paint in the big bowl. Doing this now. Thanks again Update same day Turns out very well. Happy with my 1st try

Love the abstract look without the lettering. Inknow its a personal preference but cool idea. Thanks for sharing!

Great new technique for me as a beginner to abstract painting. Thoroughly enjoyed the demo which gave me new ideas.

I love it both ways...with the white and with the vibrant colors!! Lovely work!!

First half ,with thoughtful sprinkle of colours , took the shape of a piece of art .Later, it took the shape of a Poster .(Personal feeling of a non artist ).It could be made more easily , particularly when the artist did not have to paint the letters. After the works with the roller pin, there remained only one part - drying the painting .(But the artist is to be thanked for displaying his technique).

Cool. Do a 'Live Laugh Love' one next.

Loved this thank you for the demo.

I agree Sandeep. Too much white spray paint, covered the beauty of the painting 🎨

It was perfect at 7:34.

Stevan. Thanks for sharing the lovely idea & introduction to easy basic abstract. I loved your art best with out the l letterings To me it was wow. In my enthusiasm i may have ventured into adi g a tint of copper or bronze for some highlights here & there my personal preference ofcourse. Great. Easy idea i will try a hand at a small size for starters. 🙏🙏👍

All the white made me so sad because it was so beautiful before :( he should have started with the white spray paint, then the letters and lastly the paint smearing. So in the end the letters would be just white and all the beautiful color would still be seen. You are so talented and I love your work, and thank you for the video!

I loved the video.. Its actually given me confindence to try something which i was a bit puzzled about.. Theres alot of good comments on here and also bad, but to me he achieved his goal of showing a simple idea which is in fact really effective, although i do agree with the white comments, i liked the colour more...Someone says down in the comments, " Whats the intention " , well he told you..He was using up old colours he had lying around, haha.. Surely thats what Art is about, it creates a stimulous which in turn makes us comment and pass judgement, whether good or bad..It creates conversation and provokes our thoughts and feelings, and im pretty sure he has achived this by looking at the comments he has recieved.. Well done and keep up the good work.
