Composition! I watch a lot of abstract painting videos. Of those, most are focused on being intuitively expressive. But few take the time to truly consider composition. Many are just built upon layers of paint (which horrifies me as I consider it a waste of paint.) I will do the challenge and edit this post when I do. I, too, will slow down to observe the development and be a bit more selective instead of slinging paint. This is my favorite video of yours to date.

Hey Pat! We are on the same brain waves. I just jotted down in my notebook to do a few more composition based videos. So glad that this video resonated with you. I'm excited to hear how the challenge goes. Cheers!

I’m just starting to paint abstracts! It seems that it is a different way to look at art! I’m trying to retrain my brain to look at objects, etc. differently!
@chrisloudart3 ай бұрын
You hit the nail on the head! It really is about looking at things differently. I started by finding shapes in everyday scenes and then playing with those.

This is fun. I will try this. Thanks for the idea. I am the one who recommended the yellow Frog Tape and have been meaning to get back to you about it. I paint on wood and have just recently done some sketchbook paintings using the yellow tape. I have had some instances of paper peeling, but only one of paint tearing, and I blame myself for not being careful. I have found that if I do not fully adhere the tape to the sketchbook paper the tape is more likely to pull up some paper. To prevent this, I will pull the tape off with a 45 degree angle (angled away) from the painting, holding the paper down with my other hand just behind the angled tape. I just wanted to let you know, as after painting on paper I was a little chagrined to find a bit of paper tearing. I still love the yellow Frog Tape, as it has not (except for that once) torn any paint. Thanks again for sharing. I appreciate it.
@chrisloudart Жыл бұрын
Thanks, Sybil! I think all tapes have the potential to tear paper, so no worries. I have a hair dryer in my studio and usually turn that on any tape I'm using when I peel it. No tears that way. But yellow tape is still the easiest to pull that I've used. Thanks for the feedback and tips!

Love , love, love the challenges! Keep them coming. 👩🏻🎨 When we work within a limited palette and time, our left brain has less time to critique our work and we can’t get too attached to any particular detail. The struggle is real when there are too many choices and too much time to think critically, so this challenge was fun and surprisingly productive!
@chrisloudart5 ай бұрын
I definitely will! You hit the nail on the head-sometimes too many choices and too much thinking really hinders our creative flow. I have a new challenge video posting on Saturday that speaks to that a bit. Thank you for your feedback!

Hey Debbie! Yes, but only recently. I've thoroughly enjoyed using them. How about you? Like all art, painting abstracts can be frustrating at times, but the more you play with it, the more you're able to connect the dots.

I'll get to this challenge straight away. It will be fun. Thanks for the prompt. The drops made it more interesting. I thought that a few scratches in the square would have looked interesting too. May be the brushstrokes do that already, and it doesn't show that well in the video. Thank you again for sharing, and yes more prompts would be fun.

Hey, Brigit! Let me know how it goes. Great suggestion on the scratches! I think that would have broken up the white a little and given it a little more character.😊

I love this, and I love the challenge. As a novice in abstracts, I have a question. I liked those marks made with charcoal. What is the purpose behind making them and then covering them up? 🌞
@chrisloudart2 ай бұрын
Thanks, Kathleen! Great question! Typically with intuitive paintings, I typically start off with some marks. It's a way for me to start playing right away and see if the marks give me any direction as to my next step. Many times they get covered up, sometimes a few of the marks peek through at the end, and then sometimes the become a bigger part of the painting. Just one of my processes when I paint quickly. I hope that helps!😊
