What an amazing video....and what an amazing piece of work. Great job

[@sylvialin6453]

This the best 3d abstract painting ive seen. My favourite colours too. I noticed colours used are written. It glitters like you sprinkled glitters on surface. Cant thank you enough Ray. I love this very much. Im going to try this. 🇲🇾

[@katrinacarnagey5298]

I have to tell you that I finally tried this technique at my art therapy session. It had been a few weeks since watching this (and watched it several times over the last year) so it did make an impression on me. Abstract is not my normal style but have been studying you and a couple other artists to understand it better. Anyway - it was fun putting colors on the canvas quickly, using water and paper towels to lift and move color around. Then the taping and dark color shading. When I lifted the tape everyone was impressed. Thank you for sharing your art for us to learn from. I loved creating this and will do more with it.

[@netta8955]

Me too! Ditto the compliments...first time watching and now hooked! Can’t wait to try my hand at this type of abstract! Thank you for hating all skills & talent. Now need to make time to watch more and put my learnings into practice!

[@netta8955]

Oops ......“Sharing”..not “hating”

[@lorrainecooper266]

Thank you so very much, I started painting about a year ago now (it took me until my 60th birthday to realise I knew which end of a paint brush to use!) every one said I couldn't do it and I love a challenge. I am legally blind and use a magnifying light and in a chair (lazy can't be bothered to walk lol), The point is one comment from an art teacher 45 years ago stopped me dead, you can't do that! I asked why and she said blustering "well, well, err its not right". Thanks to you and other KZbin artists I'm glad my husband set up a studio for me so that I can paint till I drop. Thank you so very much.

[@patriciahartless2095]

Thank you Ray. You're gorgeous painting. Just kind of pulls you in. To the middle of it. Love the colors that you blend together. Have a fantastic day.

[@concepciongonzalezcastello2078]

Qué buena eres. Qué sensibilidad y buen gusto. ¡Gracias por compartirlo!!!!!

[@beafitze5909]

Love it! Great that you added information in writing as well, that's a massive help for people like me who hope to learn from you, thanks!

[@keariewashburn4680]

Love the colors and this design ❤😊 very pretty thanks for sharing

[@sylvialin6453]

I like both Demo 126 n 358..unsure which to try first. Like the colours combination here. Thanks again

[@tanyaknipe7174]

Love it. Thanks for taking the time to show us how you did it. Much appreciated. I can't wait for what's in store for your next painting. ☺

[@shahrzadz8050]

Wow, this painting is like the oceans are meeting with the galaxies, awesome 🌺

[@debbiemitchell6055]

So awesome, especially for me today as I was struggling with a background I was going to just gesso over the whole painting. Watched this & I could breath

[@shwetabahirwani1997]

This is beautiful thanks for sharing

[@ElDuende-f6n]

Me encantó. Es una hermosa pintura.

[@rfsmith3297]

I love this! It looks a lot easier using tape than trying to draw squares with a pencil.

[@mallymakings2853]

This is STUNNING. I’m in LOVE with the finished piece. Thank You for sharing. 🙏🏻

[@sunnyone4]

Ray Grimes, I visited your website. Your depth and texture paintings are amazing 💕. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!

[@elliemerc01]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@shamim6926]

Very beautifully painted.

[@ruansinanankanhai914]

Looks very beautiful

[@gracamoniz207]

I am so glad I found your work. Just beautiful, fantastic. I paint oil but now I'm trying to dedicate myself to acrylics. I need to learn a lot. I will be fowling your work. Thank you so much for the great lesson. Grace from Portugal

[@mayloo2137]

This looks wonderful. Like your color choices too.

[@artistkanak6124]

Good color combinations and textures 😊

[@SuperRocketdog1]

This is so atmospheric ! Lovely work of art. Your work is truly inspiring. Thank you for showing the process.😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕🇬🇧

[@soulenergyartsartistmariam8086]

Amazing!! Love technique and colors!

[@nighttimeserenity2447]

Fascinating how Inspiring this video can be. Start with two colors, and somewhat mix em up! Adding some light through white, and using white to make spots that adds that extra touch.. Really makes you wonder what would happen if you start that way yourself!!

[@webtricksolutions3093]

Awesome paiting

[@BluebellsRblue1873]

Fantastic nebula

[@kemishi]

Beautiful!

[@maureengriffith7746]

Stunning art work!!

[@kmeyer52172]

Hi Ray....can you share how long you wait before applying the water and how long after applying the water before you start blotting with the cotton cloth? I have been trying this technique with mixed results.

[@leafdimaria728]

Well then!!! So that's how it is!! How about passing some of that talent over my way!! So Very Perfect!!💖

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Thank you :)

[@irwintatyana9066]

beautiful and inventive

[@loriweeks-norrie249]

I love love your art Ray! I’m a beginner and have learnt so much from you.

[@Cheryl64014]

Beautifully creative! Thank you for sharing this, Ray!

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Thanks

[@lewisgreen5188]

Great piece Ray. Sort of your own Hubble look into the galaxy. Thanks again for your inspiration and expertise. Lewis

[@summerroseart1638]

Looks beautiful.❤❤

[@markallen1469]

RAY GRIMES!! Great painting man! I love the dimension.. looks as if the top right part is elevated above the rest...

[@jean-pierredodge4693]

I think it is exactly the opposite… that part (top right) is like looking through a window…

[@normanahas5631]

Amazingly beautiful! Colors and creation perfect!! Thank you plus the music is very relaxing 👍

[@juditkatona2277]

💫Hiper galaxy...💫..this is another world.......😊🤗💝🏆💐.

[@lindakachur4862]

Gorgeous 👍😍

[@drawingclasswithkalyan394]

Nice artwork and something different too

[@ArtConnect1]

Thanks for the demo! Beautiful background! Of what I understand liquid white is used with oils. What is that tube of white you are using? Thank you!

[@tinakvistenberg4435]

Love this

[@Pastorfred48m]

Excellent demo! Just the inspiration I need to try again.

[@juliapo8536]

Sehr,sehr schöne Bild👍👍👍

[@floraloichot7056]

Magnifique 🤩💜💖💗

[@eternalreverie3473]

1:46... what do you spray on it? Water? And then you use white paint with a tissue to make the droplets effects or is it water on the tissue that does that?

[@juliapo8536]

Ganz Klasse ihre Bild👍

[@gaylenaughton6461]

Love your work, I wish you could talk us through a full tutorial

[@crislelia]

You can buy his tutorials in his webpage.

[@franciscacabralaguilera7948]

Mencanta tus cuadros,,y tu estilo de colores...👏👏👏👏

[@dwightjames3729]

great art

[@tm3467]

The music is beautiful. Nice job Ray.

[@jnicholas-windsoramyisrael46]

Another Great painting, Thank you. Wish I could paint in abstract.

[@jnicholas-windsoramyisrael46]

@@tm3467 Yeah I've tried. I'm an artist myself, I tend to paint Scottish landscapes but would love to be able to paint abstract. I've tried but it just looked like something my dog brought up lol.

[@rosanneridler3812]

I paint abstract, I find landscapes etc much more challenging. You need to go with the flow and keep going till you are happy

[@AshaJacobb]

Abstract art "just go with the flow "...

[@ronwillcox8735]

Sugest you stop letting the dog have the paints

[@lindaallison8581]

Beautiful colors and very inspiring! :)

[@zeenat484]

Hello, Ray Grimes, your Demo 126 extraordinary as cool colours combinations and blend. I love to see my favourite Masking.Thanks 🙏. Zz

[@sequinb7155]

Loved watching the process. You are very talented indeed. I am assuming these are acrylic paints. Could this work with chalky fresco paints?

[@deborahkeevers5600]

Hello, absolutely beautiful, going to try this, thanks for your time but I have three questions. 1. Do u wait till dry before masking off sections. Then do the shadow. 2. Do u think this would be exactly the same process to do on a much larger canvas. 3. Are u just using a house paint brush for blending.

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Yes, it's dry before masking. It would be very similar on a larger canvas and you can use any brushes you are comfortable with. Here I'm using a chip brush.

[@AsilisSymphonyEFid]

waouhh !! wonderfull and soothing. thanks for sharing. 👏👏🤗👌✨💙

[@Dipa551]

This is quite disbelief, beautiful😍💓 fantastic, fabulous 🥰🥰🥰🥰💞🌺💞🌺💞🌺💞🌺💞🌺

[@facom40]

Very beautiful !

[@taniag3481]

Did you let the paint dry before spritzzing with water? I dont get white dropplets just texture

[@lilianestuder9974]

I love it... Thank you for sharing. A fan from Switzerland🇨🇭

[@orangejoose3]

Liliane Studer Ich bin auch von Schweiz! I can speak English too =)

[@lindafirth813]

Linda Firth lovely, really good demo and thanks for the information too

[@surendrasingh4684]

Ur works are ecstatic 😊

[@AshaJacobb]

Wow beautiful colors contrast

[@annpolglase1280]

Absolutely amazing. One question : what do you splash on to create the 'white' areas?

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

It’s water

[@quratulainmalikquilling9864]

Before the spray and dabbing paint with cloth did you dry the paint or sprayed water on wet canvas?

[@katrinapellerito5436]

Wow this is stunning!! So beautiful! What kind of paint did you use? Could this be done on card stock for the same effect?

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

These are acrylics - you could try but it may not hold up as well as canvas

[@moniquechozenon2964]

Génial... résultat "bluffant" !!!

[@juhisharma6660]

Lovely technique

[@angrytreespainting]

I love how the extraneous view bathes into the opposite.

[@danceoflife1]

Fantastic video! 2 beginner questions please, I'd really appreciate any answer: 1. In one of the comments you wrote that you're letting the layers dry before moving to the next one, but your colors seem to blend so smoothly! So can i ask - is it considered one layer until 1:45 when you spray the water? (So no drying in between them until you get to the water spray part) 2. After spraying the water you use the cloth - is it totally dry and with no paint on it? I don't really understand this great magic where you spray water and the cloth brings out white little dots that look like fairy dust. Absolutely love it!

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

1 - yes, I would consider that one layer. If you were to paint over it after drying and do the same process that would be another layer 2 - yes, the cloth is totally dry at first but it gets wet quickly and picks up paint as I go, I use a few cloths to do this

[@ayezakhan2480]

I make sketches but while watching your videos . I found a new way to use colors. Thanks for sharing . Just wanted to know about acrylic paints . Will you please let me know ?

[@barkhamahender9290]

Excellent what you spray for sprinkle and wipe

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

It's water

[@rosamonllau9394]

Congratulations. Love it

[@joseserbia4602]

Hermoso !!!

[@vanessamoyes6243]

I know most will say this is a silly question but I honestly would like to know..when you are dabbing with the paper towels.. are you adding the colour with it or erasing what's there.. Please this is a genuine question

[@brunaspera3842]

Hello, but what about the buffering as you do to make it come with that effect? Really nice congratulations

[@nyhuus85]

Do you use water on the canves first or

[@karolaguder8991]

Das sieht toll aus 👍😊

[@lupecuriel6832]

Ap kaha se ho min bhi Pakistan ka hun or Saudi Arabia me yehi penteng ka kaam karta hun

[@TheDinaghosh]

Hello lovely art and thanks for showcasing this - is it ok for me to ask how do you merge the paint in canvas - do you dilute with some water as the ones I do doesn’t spread out on the canvas so much. Thanks in advance for your reply

[@jorgealbertodeschamps5702]

excelente...thanj you..¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@zralvi]

Um... Can i ask what are you using to make some um... Some sparkling dots it is water or something.?

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Yes, it's water

[@zralvi]

Oh i see so how do you add it when the painting is dry or not.?

[@zralvi]

Do i have to use bottle spray.?

[@zralvi]

What kind of paint do you use and when i'm watching your video before you add the water why did you add some white paint.?, to make the sparkling more or make the painting lighter and to mix and I'm really sorry for my many questions just want to be user before I do it my self. ,=)

[@묘니-l4q]

Do I have to spray water after the painting is dry?

[@Darshaan__]

Great painting

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Thanks :)

[@jonaeflure]

Can't believe this is the first time I've seen one of you videos. From the looks of it you've been around quite sometime making awesome abstract art. Just subscribed and hit the bell.♡

[@RayGrimesAbstractArt]

Glad to have you :)
