I mixed all of the colors from th red and blue on the top of my palette, but you could Amstardam Standart has a color called Permanant Red Violet, that is the closest I can think of. 💗 I used primary magenta and ultramarin btw.

Been loving watching you paint, I can really relate with what you have said, I started painting about 3 years ago now as my husband said I needed to find a hobby , think he regrets saying that now as I'm addicted to it, my kitchen has turned into a art studio 😂 I started with gelli printing then I found abstract, I'm at a stage where I am struggling and feeling stuck, but I just keep going, I've had a lot of stress and still do and find painting a great release, I seem to have given up on a lot of house chores and just paint ❤
@CathyMevik7 күн бұрын
That’s too funny Debbie! You should suggest house chores as a nice new hobby for him, then he will really start regretting his words. 😂 The kidding aside. As long as you keep going you’re on the right path! Getting stuck and trying to find your way teaches you so much! I actually just edited the video for Sunday and it’s all about just that! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 🥰
@lindapowell26608 күн бұрын
Oh boy!! That was amazingly helpful Cathy. I have had about 5 of those canvases waiting for me to tackle them. I get totally stumped. I was a classical painter all my life. Oils, pastels, watercolour. Portraits, Horses Landscapes and you name it. I've leaned toward Abstracting in acrylics for 10 years or so but it was Covid which pushed me over the edge. Your influence has helped during the past 4 years. I've found some success and a lot more enthusiasm than I have had for my own work for many years. Abstract is super difficult and also exciting and truly creative. You know what I mean. I will have another go at one of the rejects and try to follow your example. Thank you so much.
@CathyMevik8 күн бұрын
You really made me think back, Linda. I used to be one of those people who thought any child could create an abstract painting. Boy, did I learn a lesson when i first started painting. 😂 On a more serious note, I’ve learned that enthusiasm is everything-if I’m not excited about the process, every chance I have of improving goes straight out the window. Abstracts are challenging, but I believe we can go far as long as we have some self-compassion. Thank you so much for sharing with me. Hearing how my videos have helped you find more enthusiasm makes all the effort I put into the videos worthwhile. Feedback like yours keeps me inspired for sure. Let me know how things go with those paintings!💛

Thanks for sharing your process. I also get frustrated when it just won’t work. I try to leave and come back later. Sometimes I cover a large part in gesso or another colour leaving some parts showing through and give it a go!

I know exactly how you feel. I've been there. It takes time and practice, but keep going and you will find your way. I have a free video if where I show you one of the ways I start an abstract painting. I also have a few other freebies on my website. Check it out. www.cathymevik.com , and see if you find anything you think might be helpful. 🩷
