Watch as I share my process of creating loose and intuitive abstract paintings with acrylic paint. In this art demo, I'll be using four colors - alizarin crimson, green gold, mars black, and titanium white to create a vibrant and expressive painting.
What I love about intuitive abstract painting is that it allows me to let go of any preconceived notions and paint from a place of pure intuition. This means that every stroke and mark is made spontaneously, without any pre-planning or sketching beforehand. It's a freeing and meditative experience that lets me tap into my creativity and express myself in a unique way.
I start by mixing alizarin crimson, green gold, and white on my palette and then using a large brayer to apply the paint to the sketchbook to start my background. I use a variety of tools such as a charcoal pencil, silicone paint brush, catalyst wedge, palette knife, and fine tip applicator to create a textured and dynamic surface. As I work, I let my instincts guide me and respond to the colors and shapes that are emerging on the paper.
One of the key elements of this type of painting is the idea of letting go of control and allowing the paint to do its own thing. I embrace the imperfections and accidents that happen along the way, knowing that they all contribute to the overall character of the piece.
Throughout the video, you'll see me adding layers of color, using different brushstrokes, and experimenting with different techniques to create a loose and expressive painting. I want to show you that anyone can create an intuitive abstract painting, regardless if you’re a beginner or an advanced artist.
So, grab your acrylic paints and join me on this journey of creating a loose and intuitive abstract painting. Let's embrace the unexpected and see where the process takes us.
