Squeegee Art - Turn 1 Painting into 7 🤩 🖼️ Acrylic Abstract Painting

Today I am painting on lining paper using a squeegee, brush and a grouter. I wanted to create an abstract ocean piece, but I take it one step further - I take the ONE painting and create SEVEN from it! Wow! Abstract is one of my favorite things to do as its about unique interpretation from the person viewing it. Let me know what you think.

Mark 😊 this is blimming brilliant 👏. Love colours compositions etc .... such a great concept ❤. Definitely going to try this 😊

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

You should! Thank you so much. ☺️

Isn't Mark just marvelous 😊👌

[@user-dn9vd9xg9p]

Oh my! How beautiful! Who would have thought of using a squeegie? Creative!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you! So much fun and I have some more squeegee work coming out soon too, creating texture 😀

[@3dlovely]

Absolutely brilliant!!! I can see using all of them as a grouping on a wall. They would all coordinate together, but yet be different. Genius! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea. Denise ❤

Always wonderful ideas. Watched my neighbor toss out loads of blank canvases and all I could think of was what idea are you going to come up with so I can use them. You always make beautiful things❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing your lovely creations.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@pamelar3607]

What an awesome idea. Love it.. but I think all of them would look better with no mat edging them out. Just the frame less frames would look perfect for them. They would seem to flow into each other better if hung together. Great job ! Great video! Have a great weekend.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks for the tip!

[@cjbarash3819]

I love how organized and clean you are when you paint.

Absolutely love this. Never heard of lining paper, where did you get that ?

[@FM-id7lz]

Think I found some on amazon , it’s unpasted heavy duty, is that ok ? I have to try this

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

You should! Thanks so much 🤩

[@gerripeter484]

Very cool concept I liked it also as two separate paintings thought it would look good embellished with gold leaf. I see a lot of this art in doctors, offices, hospitals, and hotels it really does sell.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much. Yes I did think about gold leaf but I’m filming a series at the moment just on embellishment so will defo show some of that too

[@christinenaylor4912]

What paper are you using please? .... great tutorial by the way :)

Thank you. This is lining paper - used before wall papering

[@farhadal-mulla1670]

Love it, looks brilliant. Have a question when you are pulling the squeegie, do you exert pressue or just gently move it?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you. A fair bit of pressure so you can drag the paint along with you but not too much where you don’t leave any behind
