Learn to Paint an Abstract Portrait in Acrylic and Ink

In this video, I demonstrate a warm-up exercise of an abstract portrait using acrylic and ink. Setting a timer for 20 minutes can push you into your right brain and out of your analytical brain.

Bonjour Patt, Cette démonstration m'a beaucoup plu, car passionnante et très dynamique, merci ! Je cherche à comprendre pour quelles raisons vous remplissez la toile de couleurs vives (1re couches), puisque ensuite, trees peu de ces couleurs resteront visibles sur le sujet (visage du sujet, en l'occurrence). Les raisons de cette technique relèvent - elles d'un processus dont vous avez besoin, ou bien ont-elles un but et un intérêt visuel qui m'échappe encore ? Bien cordialement.

Painting the messy first layer is my way of starting. In some cases I leave much more of it showing. I could have left more of it in this one and if it was not just a quick sketch I may have been more methodical in my choices. In any event some of the colour from the first layer adds pop surprises of colour. A good exercise would be to experiment with the same reference and paint one with a colourful background and one on a white background and see how it flows.
