Making Abstract Art with a ROLLER | Thick Texture Painting

[@Gtefaki]

❤ love it! Thank you for sharing your talent us! Could you imagine to use the same technique on the ceiling? Thank you

[@AddiArts]

haha that would be awesome!

[@andrewwatts2695]

I love simplicity in art 🎨❤️

[@natashamitchell2904]

New subbie here.. love ur technique. I’m a beginner going to give it a try on three 24x38 canvas. My colors are variations of grey, white, beige, gold (will do very min streaks on this) I find this way better now I’m going to get that roller u have and return the other stuff I have. This way is less work. Do u recommend after I put my compound on the board that I paint the entire board white and the. Start my colors? Also do you have a video on how to frame your canvas

[@AddiArts]

awesome! I personally paint a coat of white after adding texture like this to give a uniform background. I do not have a proper framing video as I rarely do it :/

[@Nomadcreations]

So Simple! So Creative! & Nice end result!!!

[@sharlalee2802]

I have no experience in making art just in the appreciation of it. I loved the art you shared and created in this video! My question, did you paint the canvas white after the spackling paste dried or did you simple add you color?

[@AddiArts]

Yes I painted it all white after applying the paste!

Hi , Greetings from Birmingham , England . I really love these pictures . I have not used a roller in my own abstracts before , but after seeing this video two days ago ; I went out and bought a roller today . I can imagine that Payne's grey would work well also because of the beautiful blue - black shades that come . I like all your videos and your taste in music is real cool ! Best wishes for your future work .

[@AddiArts]

Glad you got inspired to experiment a little! Thanks for the kind words :)

[@denisewhitaker5116]

I used your technique in a sketchbook and loved it. I went back in with white to tone down the roller marks and added some pencil lines. I did this a few years ago and forgot! It is a very satisfying technique. Almost too easy/fun and I got bogged down with too much detail imo since. Do you have good responses with these? Sorry, if it seems like a stupid question!?🙃

[@KirsiJulkuArt]

What a fun technique! And beautiful results :)

[@monieksam4350]

Man... do l love your work! Greetings from Amsterdam.

[@AddiArts]

[@artgeometrix6346]

This is really cool. A simple but really effective idea.

[@ARTYCOATY]

Beautiful‼︎ Amazing painting‼︎ Thanks sharing‼︎

[@Psalm_27.4]

Thank you for this! What music was playing in the early part of the video?

[@cjroelof]

I really love this technique! Thank you for sharing! I am going to give it a go!

[@AddiArts]

Glad to help! Go for it!

[@violameyer2656]

Love it!!! Thanks again for the inspiration and for sharing. 🥰

[@AddiArts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dianehansma1725]

Cool creativity~~~love your work. I noticed your large paintings in the background, seems like the perfect sizes. What sizes do you prefer with large ones? I have a 34x48 hardboard I am working on~~lol, it's too damn big. Oh yeah~~~speaking of cheap texture paste, I use tile adhesive from Home Depot~~works great. Thank you for taking time out to answer questions.

[@AddiArts]

Thank you! Yep I primarily do larger paintings, usually around 5' x 6', it's a lot of space to fill!

[@rej1310]

super jolie bravo encore de belle idée merci vite une suiteeeeeeeeeeeee

[@travishayward7708]

Your video description says "thick" texture" how thick do you apply the spackle I tried it out with experimenting and after it was done it just started crumbling off... im gonna try it again but go thinner on the spackle

[@AddiArts]

Yes after experimenting with other mediums, I would not go back to spackle. It's too delicate and non-flexible. I've been using latex caulking lately and it's been working great!

[@beersport]

Do you use hardboard? If so, how do you stabilize the larger formats so it doesn't warp or flex and crack the paint?

[@AddiArts]

No i don't use hardboard. If you're using acrylics, they won't crack and are able to flex once dried. But as for the joint compound I used in this video for texture, I would imagine that would crack, we'll find out!

[@a.humphries8678]

Is the spackle archival quality? Will it crack? Thanks for the content!

[@AddiArts]

nope not archival, definitely will crack! I don't recommend it

[@margauxv25]

Did you ever find something that was archival?

[@a.humphries8678]

@@margauxv25 modeling paste probably is, it's just so much more expensive.

[@nancyalmeidacrocker7618]

Did you let the paint dry before applying the last layer of white?

[@AddiArts]

yep!

[@beersport]

When you paint on an unstretched canvas, do you then stretch onto a frame?

[@AddiArts]

Most of my paintings are painting on unstretched canvas, and only when they are ready to be hung somewhere do I stretch them.

[@beverlyblake8502]

Really nice!👍🏾

[@Banniesartistry]

Thank you

[@beersport]

Hey man, wicked cool work! What is the name of the song in the background?

[@AddiArts]

Thanks! Actually I don't remember what the song is, just a free one provided by KZbin

[@artbyzuzu4114]

Great 👍

[@diannelallen]

Canvas or canvas board?

[@AddiArts]

canvas!

[@diannelallen]

Thanks! Do you thin or alter your paint?

[@AddiArts]

@@diannelallen not for this painting, sometimes I will add water to thin acrylics though

[@diannelallen]

@@AddiArts Thank you for your reply. When I do mine I will tag you as my inspiration!
