Paint a SIMPLE abstract - An easy How To Guide
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
#acrylicpaint #howto #painting
Let me show you a really simple technique for creating a beautiful piece of abstract art. I'm using lots of bright colours - anyone can have a go and have fun!
In the first half of the video I take you through some basic preparation - what tools you will need and especially using things you may already have in the house - like sponges, cardboard and paint brushes. You can skip to around the 09:00 mark if you just want to see how the painting is created.
I also talk about canvas, painting the background and how to finish off the edges.
Look out for the second video here ( • How to paint an abstra... ) where we will get straight into creating using another simple and amazing technique to make a beautiful, colourful painting - completely different to this one!
If you found this video helpful, inspiring or entertaining, and you would like to buy us a coffee, you can donate using the Super Thanks button (the heart icon). It'll go towards paying for the next camera (as I seem to break them with alarming frequency!!!). Thanks for all your support - Ed an Ady

I love simplicity! It turned out quite nice! It's better to act than over think sometimes! There are so many ways to make art, it is endless! Now I'm retired and I can do as much or little as I like! I never had the time for art while working and raising my son. But now, the world is my canvas!! Thank you for your great ideas and for bringing this to us! I love it!

I've been an artist for a long time now - different styles and methods - no purely acrylic pour technique... and can I say I LOVE your videos. I kick back with my cask of wine and watch you. For new start artists you are a pure gift and for folks like me even I love watching how you create your art - especially the HUGE ones. I've done a few 'big ones' for our house - but NO where near the size you do!! I just had to say thank you for your wonderful videos! From Australia!
