Abstract Realism// Using Texture and Collage Tutorial

Hey guys!!!
This was a super fun process using 4 different textures, some collage and mixing some abstract techniques with some realism.
In this video, I walk you through the entire process from start to finish.
The texture pastes I used are:
Coarse pumice gel
Fiber Paste
Crackle Paste
Modeling Paste
I hope you enjoyed the video! Thank you for supporting my channel!
Any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments!
Happy Painting

[@joeldcanfield_spinhead]

Hearing you talk through your process is so instructive. What you're doing is helpful; why you're doing it is gold. Yes, the burnt edge texture and cracks around the heart are super.

"Things have to get messy before it all starts to come together." 5:53 Words of wisdom, especially for an artist. BTW, love the old timey music. And all that texture ♥

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Diane! So much truth in that... Every painting has the messy/ugly stage. I'm glad you like the music. I like it, but I get mixed reviews on my musical taste.😁❤

[@dianeo]

@@lydiabroderick867 I have a wide range of musical likes and Old Timey is towards the top of the list 😄

[@TjVoelkerArt]

@@lydiabroderick867 I also dug the music.

Lydia tu es très inspirante pour moi 💚

[@amandaryan6450]

Lydia, You have helped me out before my question about mixed media in your latter posts what I put to you ❤️ Thank you so much for helping me and lots of other people ❤️ I respect you for showing people who want to learn without you charging them that to me shows a good heart ❤️ and you help people your unconventional. Your Artwork is very unique and very creative absolutely stunning your beautiful imagination 🎨 people like you should be recognised as giving teaching and learning without nothing in return just to appreciate what you do THANK YOU ❤️🎨😘

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Amanda. That means so much to me. Your comment was lovely to read. I am so happy to share the techniques that I use and always hope it helps someone.❤❤❤

[@amandaryan6450]

@@lydiabroderick867 Your welcome 😁

[@angierobson1545]

I am an oil painter and watching your process has inspired me to venture out again, like I did when I was creating art in High School and at University! Brilliant!

[@kyelesley7498]

Wow… so many layers, like an onion, or an ogre… I did love Shrek. I found the process fascinating… It ends up looking like aged wood or stone. The statue is more appropriate than a person. Love the music as well, it made me think of a speakeasy in the movies of the 30s. Keep up the great work!

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thanks mom! That fiber paste really gives that aged look. I'm so glad you like it!❤❤❤

[@susanmarcoux7005]

Thanks for that ❤

[@larajamieson9163]

OMG you blow my mind! 🙏🏻

[@lydiabroderick867]

[@Komponents]

I watch lots of art videos and In my opinion, the added portrait took this way beyond other mixed media “grunge” artists’ work.

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Kay!!!

[@williamlaforge4517]

Hi Lydia, clearly you are a talented musician too, for your music selections synchronize well to the spirit of your creative activity, in addition to the time-lapse display. Way to go!

[@RoseMCreations]

Wow! It’s amazing love the cracks around the heart. It definitely looks burnt. ❤🌹

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Rose! The cracks around the heart came out really well. I wasn't sure how it would look when I first applied the paste.❤😊

[@lammilee1]

I am SO WOWED! I could not have predicted where this would go, but it was fascinating watching a true artist work! You made your art come alive right before my eyes!!! 🤗🥰👏

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you!❤❤❤

[@doninis1354]

Indeed so so so cool. And I think there was no ugly state. I really like the outcome. So awsom.

[@shanerohane7494]

It's incredible how far you've come as an artist Lydia--and how far you'll go. I'm glad to see your process getting fleshed out more and more here on the KZbins, it's so soothing.

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Shane!!!☺

Gorgeous texture and I love the warm sienna and mars black. This is definitely a mantle piece!

iove your vids

[@lisashafer346]

Your work is mesmerizing. Just love watching you layer paint and mediums and paper. You have mad drawing skills too! So excited to see that. Feel lucky to have found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing! As someone who has never worked with oils before but may have to as part of a course in the near future, may I ask which oils you have found to be transparent? I’ve only found semi transparent payees gray for example. If opacity doesn’t matter because you can make them translucent with mediums, that would be a lifesaver. Thanks again for sharing your journey! Soooo fun to watch!

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Lisa!!!❤❤❤

[@deniselisboa1]

DUUUDE your art is epic. expect a butt load of comments from me. holy shit i love this

[@Dorisita9]

What a wonderful way to end my night. Watching you paint is so hypnotizing and relaxing. You take me into such a great place in my mind and heart while you paint . ❤️

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you!!! That's so nice to hear.❤❤❤

[@L.WolfMoidell-is6vz]

👍💯% Absolutely worth a subscribe! I'm not at all interested in journaling or the arts/crafts type work. I certainly do appreciate artists that do work that is archival & gallery wall worthy.
