The painting was commissioned by my dearest client from NY
In this video beginners will get 9 useful tips, advanced artists will learn new abstract painting techniques on canvas and everyone will get inspiration and ideas as I believe that everyone is an artist and even if you don’t yet have a high level of relevant skills you can use painting as art therapy or meditation. In this acrylic painting tutorial, I will share with you my multilayered gradient technique where I use a palette knife and flat synthetic brushes. Also, you will learn how to make texture with gesso for abstract painting. And finally, in this painting demo, you will find how to smooth color gradients to get smooth color transitions.

9 TIPS FOR BEGINNERS:
1. Start with the focal point. It will make the creation of your composition easier
2. Use the rule of thirds. Place the focal point off-center to make the composition more dynamic and interesting
3. Create the guiding lines to emphasize the focal point
4. Let the modeling paste dry completely. At least overnight
5. Wet the canvas to get smooth color transitions
6. Mix paints with unbleached white. It makes colors look less childish and more sophisticated
7. Use a very soft flat synthetic brush to smooth the gradient
8. Apply gilding wax to highlight the relief of the modeling paste
9. Make your signature a part of the composition in order not to ruin it

I do need to brag about you. you are the most brilliant artist I've ever known and found besides Bob Ross lol and you have a lot of artistic talent I just wanted to thank you and I am so glad that I found you

[@danbassman24]

I listen to over 25 youtube artists but for some reason I connect most with you. Soothing voice, calm, talented and really imaginative. Youve helped me go from a copycat painter to an original artist. If you ever come to Canada let me know!

[@IndieRu]

Thank you so much 😍 I am honored to be such an inspiration ❤ Ok, I will 🙂

[@Richard-fi9gq]

Согласна со всеми восторженными отзывами!!! Ваши картины вдохновляют на великие дела😁😁. Когда нет настроения, все достало и ничто не радует, я смотрю Вас. Спасибо Вам огромное!!! Наилучшего вам и творческих успехов!! Наталья

[@hbendzulla8213]

You have to have a certain kind of fantasy, to create a beautiful piece of art. And you got it, not everybody who will try, it will not get the same result. Looks good I love it

[@katy-bjj]

Thank you for showing us your acrylic techniques, your video is so inspirational!

[@artbyjasminelillian]

Love seeing this process. I'm glad I watches this video before painting. It was super helpful!

[@candacemaree9514]

This is absolutely stunning. The contrast and the way the lighter colors I K du off the focal point, giving it that glow in the background. Gorgeous. 🥰

[@mizanurrahman-mk5bo]

Super skilled artist and unique abstract work. Congratulations Indie.💐🌱🍂

[@brendatrujillo2666]

Beautiful! So relaxing to watch the lovely colors morph into such a wonderful abstract.

[@DreamfulCanvaspaintwithme]

Indeed, besides actually painting, the next best thing that relaxes me is watching other fellow creators bringing to life wonderful art pieces!😍

[@conversationsaboutmediares5531]

This is beautiful, thank you for a great tutorial!

[@vazquez736]

Must say that I like your technics. Very beautiful painting. Love the color and creativity. Good job

Beautiful painting!! I love creating abstract tutorials and love seeing other peoples!!! It’s so cool to make something so beautiful that didn’t exist before! 😊🤘🏻

[@IndieRu]

Thank you, Kendra 😍❤️

[@Mystique-Dreams]

At some point it looked like a dolphin jumping in the water, Love it!

[@delldirks3726]

I also saw that.

[@nancymarianik]

Yes indeed!!😉

[@nicolagibbons6624]

Exactly what I thought

[@rsower2290]

Most of your paintings seem to reflect the beginning of the cosmos which I find intriguing, illuminating.

[@IndieRu]

Thank you for the impressive interpretation ❤️

[@lesleylang3020]

I love this, wonderful the blending and the emphasis on the color. really love it!!!

Well said! Could not agree more 👍

[@dariangel5993]

Ru, thank you for this video and great tips! I love your work!

[@joecantdance494]

Very interesting use of the modelling paste. And glad to see someone else using those hugely soft brushes. They work really well for blending. I thought that piece was crying out for some more brighter highlights, and thought I was seeing a kingfisher coming through at one stage. Still very nice, and right up my street. I eagerly await your next endeavour

[@heathersmith8491]

You are an amazing artist💜 You do art so effortlessly. Beautiful work my friend.

[@XDADDYXANDREWX]

From one artist to another, this is awesome! I like how you emphasized the layers with the colors. Amazing outcome, big thumbs up!

[@KendraTroschelArt]

I agree!! I love exploring colours and seeing how they can be used to say so much!! 😊😊 this painting ended up gorgeous!

Wooooow soooo schön die Delphine, danke dir für dieses wunderbare Bild ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@IndieRu]

Vielen Dank 💕

[@davegreen4236]

I love watching painters. So soothing to me like a form of visual music. Relaxing, we need color, color my or our worlds of imagination. Have you ever watched clouds and something striking will pop out, a distinct image, familiar image but something grand and fantasial about it, and then it changes into something else, quite awe inspiring, paintings like that to me, but I’m a musician who just likes painting, blending color, blending musical color tones..

[@NicholeFraserSicNic]

Yes I love this. I learned so much. Thank you.

[@user-copycatstudio]

Wow, beautifully done. I cant wait to try something like that. Inspirational!
