Abstract Painting Demo Tutorial using acrylic paints and oil pastels for layers. Look To The Light.

This video demonstrates the creation of an unplanned abstract painting on a large square canvas, using acrylic paints (in black, white, crimson, emerald, neon pink and neon orange), water soluble crayons and oil pastels.
Watch as the painting unfolds in layers.
To apply the paint, I use a rubber brayer (mini roller), a palette knife, a couple of brushes and a sponge.
I hope you enjoy the process!

Amazing outcome and bold process. It took courage to make that decision to take away most of the flowers with blue. I am curious as to what thoughts you had when you made that choice.

It was too busy, Joel, and the eyes didn't know where to land! Although I like that in certain styles of painting, I felt that less would be more here, composition-wise.

@@jobarnard I agree

Thank you for answering. I'm currently working on this abstract today. You make it fun. Actually, you are covering a lot in your presentation.

I love it. Acrylic paint won't peel after painting over oil paste? Do you use plastic or rubber roller?

[@lindaspaulding1021]

Does oil pastel work under acrylic paint????

[@jobarnard]

It's fine to make marks etc with oil pastels under acrylic paint. A watered down or translucent acrylic paint would allow the pastel marks to show through x

Such a shame to not be eating caramelized onions with those mushrooms. It's a disappointment but my favorite hummus is definitely RED PEPPER HUMMOUS.

Ooh yes, that would add a lovely sweetness to the mix :)
