Depth and Texture / Abstract Painting / Demo 126 / Galaxy / Acrylics / Painting Techniques

Demonstration of abstract painting using a brush and a cloth to create a unique texture.
Colors used here are black, white, burnt sienna, and phthalo blue
I began mixing blue and burnt sienna around the canvas and blending the two colors together.
Added some liquid white to blend in some lighter areas.
With a spray bottle I lightly spritzed the canvas and used a cotton cloth to dab the water giving the painting a beautiful texture effect.
Then I masked off portions and used black with a thin brush to create a shadow effect around the edges.
I hope you enjoy.

[@concepciongonzalezcastello2078]

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

[@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. ☺

[@keariewashburn4680]

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

[@shwetabahirwani1997]

This is beautiful thanks for sharing

[@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.

[@shahrzadz8050]

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

[@artistkanak6124]

Good color combinations and textures 😊

[@mallymakings2853]

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

[@elliemerc01]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@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.

[@ruansinanankanhai914]

Looks very beautiful

[@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!

[@shamim6926]

Very beautifully painted.

[@meier_y_Yo]

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.

[@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.

[@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. 🇲🇾

[@soulenergyartsartistmariam8086]

Amazing!! Love technique and colors!

[@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

[@mayloo2137]

This looks wonderful. Like your color choices too.

[@alicehinna5332]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@tinakvistenberg4435]

Love this

[@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!!

[@mahwashfatimaable]

Thank you so much for giving the details..

[@lewisgreen5188]

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

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…

[@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

[@paintart8225]

Advice. 🛑 Use oil or acrylic paints if you are a beginner as it is easy to mix and clean Good luck, creative people

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.

Glad to have you :)

[@kappaaaa]

This is amazing

[@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!
