Letting My Art Change: Abstract Art Process in Adobe Fresco

As my life changed, so did my art. I was late to learn digital media and found a lot of freedom returning to draw 'nothing'.
Tools:
---------
Premiere Pro
Procreate Drawing
Adobe Fresco

Your art is so moving! I really appreciate the storytelling behind your abstract process in this video. And Fresco looks really satisfying.

Thanks so much! It has a "freemium" version where you get a scaled down version of it to try it out, as it is subscription based.

I have a hard time transitioning from traditional art to digital. It's encouraging to hear someone else talk about this! Thank you!

It is so tough! All skills are transferrable but the software and application is a major learning curve. Just keep at it :)

What do you mean when you say your “brain broke?” In 2022. Not to get into details. If there are no words to describe it, then the visual? Do you feel sensations, emotions when you paint? Are you doing this because it’s satisfying or as an outlet? Asking for a friend..

I was experiencing severe depression with dissociative episodes. I was in crises for a few years but eventually got help in 2023. Funny enough, I didn't feel much as I went into the abstract stuff. It was a way to try to reconnect to find my feelings that seemed to have evaporated. I think it's both satisfying and an outlet, even if I cant pinpoint exactly what it means at all.

⁠@@luckamooey Glad you are getting help with the professional. It’s seems to be a theme isn’t it? Artist and the depression lol. The motif/direction you found while you are exploring, pushing the boundary is what intrigued me. I am still working on understanding that. I hope things will improve and heading toward the right direction for you.
