How to Create an Abstract Painting: My Process (PART 1) / Art with Adele

HOW TO CREATE AN ABSTRACT PAINTING: MY PROCESS // Whether it’s abstract art in oils or acrylics, you can pick up new ideas for your paintings just by watching other artists as they paint. I hope you can add to your toolbox of abstract painting techniques by watching this first of two videos on my process of creating an acrylic abstract painting.

    Thank you for telling us that almost all the time you do not know what you are going to paint when you start a painting. I rarely know that myself and it almost always changes throughout my painting . I like surprises as well.

    Adele, I discovered your perfectly produced tutorials 3 days ago and have binge-watched you ever since including the interview you gave to your charming son. You, in my opinion, are a born teacher and a very gracious one at that. I'm riveted to your process. In short order I've made improvements I wouldn't have known to make had I not learned them from you. Please continue to lead us. Your work is, as everyone knows, so interesting. For me, it is full of secrets and I love to stare at your completed pieces. Stay safe and thank you for giving of your time this way!

    It's so fun to see that you're also a "branch painter" 😂 I find long, skinny sticks on my walks and I especially love the ones that are not straight. I tape these long, crooked sticks to my brushes and make uncontrolled marks and lines on my canvas. It's so much fun! To me it almost feels like the long, awkward stick allows the paint to just go on the canvas any way it wants to, - and the lines look so organic and surprising.

I am wondering if it would be okay (would it make a difference) to use a lesser quality raw umber acrylic paint (student grade as opposed to professional grade) as the first layer since that first layer is going to be covered up....or do you recommend using the highest quality paint that one can afford ... from beginning to end.

I find that your videos are incredibly helpful because you not only demonstrate, but you explain your thinking and your reasons for doing each step. It is very inspiring and useful. I also appreciate that you make it safe to try something and then change your mind. I like your philosophy of putting color on, taking it off. It is very freeing. I am fascinated with color, texture and movement and am learning so much from you regarding techniques. Thank you!!
