Art and abstract acrylic painting with collage.

[@lindavance7964]

Thanks for sharing your art and your processes.... it's very generous of you. I also like that you mention other artists and recognise their influences on your style. Your videos are amazing....

[@allisondawrant]

Thank you so much! That means a lot, Linda.

[@madelynsmith8281]

Love your abstract video! Love to see more!!! 😊

[@allisondawrant]

More to come! thanks

[@connieschwarz6023]

you are incredibly good! i love your videos and your vision! i was a gallery artist for years and as you mentioned in another post it was stressful. the methodology of your videos and your demonstrations are very refreshing. up until now the only other artist i pay close attention to is Jane Davies . very inspirational! thank you for taking the time and investing your energy into providing a quality video. i’m now a big fan!

[@allisondawrant]

wow. thankyou Connie. this means a lot to me.

[@cathydawe5944]

Absolutely loved this Allison! I have been wanting to try acrylic paints but have felt too intimidated. You have given me a starting point I think I can begin with in this video. And I recently used brown packing paper from some online orders to do some creating with the grandkids so now I have more ideas to make collage papers with it (re-use!). So glad to have a new video from you for inspiration! Thank you! 💗

[@allisondawrant]

thanks for this positive and insightful comment, Cathy, I hope to do more videos with a charger near by my phone next time! ha. so much learning…

At 19:43 we can see a fabulous profil pink face of a woman at the top of the sheet ;-) that’s the spontaneous creativity 😊we love when we paint something abstract

[@LynnLBE]

When I did some collage paper & painting, I did the “brush cleaning off” marks on book pages. What an effortless way to create several pages in minutes❣️. I love it & learned it right here so thank you❣️❣️❣️

[@allisondawrant]

I love that! thanks for sharing ❤️

I get it we have good intentions to make videos… time of life flies… I’ve really been trying to give myself grace this year. Enjoyed your video, knowledge..

[@allisondawrant]

thanks for saying this. I need to give myself more grace too:)

[@sharonalkenbrack2871]

Thank you.

You're welcome!

[@libbygreenberg4764]

Hi. Have you used gesso as an inexpensive white?

[@allisondawrant]

Yes I have, but I forget sometimes! Thanks for the great reminder. It’s a fabulous white!

[@MissLinux2010]

Thanks for sharing. It seems like you always start up a page but then end the video. It could be nice to see a piece from start untill you feel it is finished and then follow the whole process. I have tried to watch several videos to find where you re-visit the pages you have started up but it doesn't seem like you return to them.

[@allisondawrant]

ha- yes, that's probably pretty accurate! It's not my intention to cut off the video before finishing or at least "wrapping " up a piece... but its (I am) a work in progress as I'm still quite new to this. Thanks for watching and your insights. This gives me a goal for my next videos.

[@Ms1lonewolf]

Why do this??I'm not joking I want to know why?? Thank you 😊 🙏.

[@jlm517rocks]

it can take courage to express layers that in truth, expose inner creative ideas, feelings, thoughts beyond (& without) words both positive & otherwise... each layer is a mirror of one's own being...rather than resort to self- or other destructive behaviors, we get to work/play out in arty ways what chefs would call ingredients preceding the result...all require some practice, sense awareness, intuition & bravery to experiment...like a perfumer must add or subtract multiple essential oils til the nose knows 'the one' from base note to middle to sustained finish...

[@kathyb5740]

Just because it makes you happy to create ❤.

[@curlew-3592]

@@jlm517rocksReally!! 😂😂🤣🙄

[@allisondawrant]

painting makes me happy and calm and it’s my source of dopamine. I wish everyone could find their own version of what makes them happy😍 And the good thing is that there is something for everyone and watching videos is a choice…

[@Samahra01]

Cause it's awesome, it's healing, relaxing, enjoyable etc...creating and expressing oneself is good for our mental, spiritual, and physical health❤❤❤
