how to begin an acrylic abstract painting 

This is how I approach the beginning of an acrylic on canvas demo, getting a few layers going. I know it may end just when things get going but it’s important to watch because this is often the hardest part for some artists! So I wanted to demonstrate how to keep yourself from getting too caught up in detail in the beginning. The painting has been worked on since this video and I will get into that in a follow up.
