Dear Adele, THANK YOU so much for showing us your painting process ❤ It's been real fun to watch you create as well! This is the first video of yours I ever watched and already I've subscribed because THIS right here is a golden opportunity to learn. 💐
Adele, I discovered your perfectly produced tutorials 3 days ago and have binge-watched you ever since including the interview you gave to your charming son. You, in my opinion, are a born teacher and a very gracious one at that. I'm riveted to your process. In short order I've made improvements I wouldn't have known to make had I not learned them from you. Please continue to lead us. Your work is, as everyone knows, so interesting. For me, it is full of secrets and I love to stare at your completed pieces. Stay safe and thank you for giving of your time this way!
I wish I had had YOU as my first & only teachers. She didn’t care for my style. So interesting to me, because I do so many of the same things you do … self-taught, experimenting, no beginning objective in mind and loving using different tools and types of paint!!!
Thank you for telling us that almost all the time you do not know what you are going to paint when you start a painting. I rarely know that myself and it almost always changes throughout my painting . I like surprises as well.
Sign of a dedicated artist: Hold paintbrush with teeth while using hands to do other work and tweaks! LOVE IT!!! You have spoken to my inner artist!!! 💚💛💜
Adele, Thank you so much for your video's. You are the best of the best when it comes to teaching and making it fun. I love painting abstract art , however, whenever it takes me and I LOVE watching your video's.
This is how i paint no idea none whatsoever...until i see something i could work on. This is how I always end up with so many layers of paint on the canvas. Thanks.
I want to get back it to art, and you have inspired me to do abstracts thank you, I think it will help clear my mind to from constantly thinking on life's problems. 😊
I didn't want to continue doing the same abstract pours I have been doing. Want to do brush abstract art, something I can put my personality into. I'm glad I found your videos.
This is Great and very inspiring. I have been looking at buying an Abstract painting which I like but I simply cannot afford it , so I think I’m going to buy the paints and brushes myself and have a go with these techniques. Thank You Adele😍
Hi Adele. Not only do I love your abstract pieces, I love your passion, enthusiasm, teaching and simple explanations. I was wondering if you could possible make a video on painting abstract purely from emotion, as I am having difficulties with even knowing where to start. You are the most inspirational artist I have found, you always put a smile on my face and I just love watching you work.. Thank you so much for sharing your process, hints and tips on this channel, you really do help so many people x
Thank you so much as much as I adore your art,,,I believe that your real art is in the way you hold us mesmerized to the screen throughout the video and the confidence you ignite in us so much that we immediately feel the best ...... thank you
Lockdown in Minnesota. How wonderful to find you-you are inspiringing me in so many ways. I have been a painter and have done collage much of my life. I went on utube to see if there was something new for me. YES. I am ready to go. Thank you
Your hair (colors/hues/textures) go SO WELL with your raw umber “depth-creating background!” Slightly ‘ashier,’ but so harmonious and complementary :~)
I recently retired and decided to return to an old love - art. I have been watching quite a few videos to get ideas. I find that your videos are incredibly helpful because you not only demonstrate, but you explain your thinking and your reasons for doing each step. It is very inspiring and useful. I also appreciate that you make it safe to try something and then change your mind. I like your philosophy of putting color on, taking it off. It is very freeing. I am fascinated with color, texture and movement and am learning so much from you regarding techniques. Thank you!!
So happy I found your channel. I'm an artist, but never touch acrylics or done abstract and been trying to push myself to start. You make the leasson feel so informative yet relaxed and casual.
Thank you once again, Adele! I was having trouble resolving an issue on painting and watching you work opened up an Inspirational Highway!! Block cleared. Issue creatively resolved.
I took a couple classes in Paris. The teacher used similar techniques and style as yours especially with base coat and using a lot of water to let it drip:) created great effects! Love how you tied branches to the brushes, loved to try this one. Thanks again!
I am glad you are learning. I really enjoy sharing my lifetime of tips and techniques. Anything I can do to help artists succeed and bring more art into the world is what I strive to do. 🌸
It's so fun to see that you're also a "branch painter" 😂 I find long, skinny sticks on my walks and I especially love the ones that are not straight. I tape these long, crooked sticks to my brushes and make uncontrolled marks and lines on my canvas. It's so much fun! To me it almost feels like the long, awkward stick allows the paint to just go on the canvas any way it wants to, - and the lines look so organic and surprising.
I've recently "discovered" you and have been watching your videos. This particular one (I plan on watching part 2) your colour choice/scheme is very appealing. So many other videos by other artists go overboard with too many colours. This video has been very helpful, and I've been known to put my brush in my mouth, too! Thanks Adele!
Thank you! I really like to work with muted colors and a limited palette, but the underpainting is often bright and intricate. Whatever works! Glad you like it
I'm pretty new at working with acrylics and new at abstract (learned oil basics and pastels first), and have been at a total loss for how to create some great abstract work. Your videos are SO helpful, thank you! And the branches on the brushes are GENIUS! I feel inspired 😊✨
This is so helpful, just a beginner here. I alwas admire art, but the problem is idk how to draw. I love colors and the freedom of art and makes me happy when i do it
OOOHH Adele, I just love this...! I was never someone for abstract art, but you changed my mind about it! Thank you so much for these video's!! I'm really going to try this.. Amanda from South Africa
To say thank you seem inadequate to express my joy at finding your site. Thank for sharing your talents and techniques in these two incredible videos. I am truly inspired to paint again. Thank You!
Seeing you painting is a delight! Thanks for sharing this intimate moment, teaching us how inspiration should come from the heart and from a peculiar lapse.
i LOVE that you made a little shed in your garden for your studio - my goal is to have a room which I can dedicate to my studio, however haven't been able to secure one yet in a share house rental property....one day! It would be so nice to have all my art supplies in one spot ready to go when I want to
My channel has been primarily fluid art up until now but I feel my heart being pulled in this direction ...lol. I love your teaching style and explanations. Thank you for sharinf
Nope, I do it too! Have you ever absentmindedly wiped acrylic paint on your face? Ha ha ha! I'll do it and then forget about it until I take a bathroom break... warpaint! ;-)
I seen atleast 20 good paintings out of this one painting...you should take photos of the painting every couple of minutes or so...you would have so many cool photographs and differant paintings...
The first color you put on top of the white with brown and you covered it with the whole canvas with brown I was really upset when you covered that beautiful brown and different tones of the brown it was very nice you covered the whole thing over with other colors I love the music and I love your personality
I really enjoyed you’re process. I’m going to be doing an abstract later tonight in class so I wanted to see what I was getting into and see if I can prepare myself for it. Probably going to find some sticks on the way to class and give that a shot. I enjoy your use of the blues also the base color with the Ocre. I think I’m going to try the base color and possibly go with a vermillion theme. This really got me brainstorming, thank you so much!
you prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Zaiden Deandre Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Love this!! I love the long sticks on brushes! I am going to do this with my camp kids. Help them free up their ideas and allow for exciting outcomes. I learned a lot from your process. The dark background works for me- and I like the way you roll with it and let it move you. Thank you!
Hello . i have watched so many videos here yours is BINGO has it all, SO BRAVO for your video its perfact its clear perfactly photographed ..appreciate your work and especially your generosity. Do excuse my written mistakes ..Thanx again..gila.
I hope I happened upon you and your video just in time! I have a large place in the hall I want to do a painting for. My colors are real close to the Manganese blue you are doing. The canvas I have is a 36” x 36”… just what you have. The wall is just outside the kitchen, which is painted in a turquoise. With white cabinets. Open to living area done in shades of grays. Watching you paint now. Will continue to watch and see if you are my answer I need to get my painting done! ….. will let you know… Thanks😉
I am so happy to discover your channel! I identify so much with your way of painting! I also love the unexpected and starting a painting without an initial idea, just letting my intuition work. Thanks for sharing your process 💕 kisses from Brazil!
This was wonderful! I love how you explain everything SO well! You're so brave to do the branch thing...but I can see how it forces you to be loose!! I'm trying to gain the confidence to add some videos...nothing as good as these and mostly fluid....but I love this type of abstract so much! Its what I see in my head mostly. Thanks so much for such great encouragement °°
This has been very interesting and informative. I am a bit more "busy" with my abstracts. I include mixed media, collage, mark making, etc. But I think I'll try painting my substrates with that dark umber...very cool painting of yours! :-)
yes: loosing control, let away the force to have it all like we expect. wish that would be more normal to human thinking, it would help forget about optimizing every little nothing. thank you for this thought!
Adele, I'm so glad this popped up on my feed. I saw this before but I forgot which color you used. You should link to golden products and tools. I prefer buying my paints at blick but I buy all my brushes and painting tools on amazon. I'd rather have a few nickels go to you through an affiliate program than have it go to some faceless corporation. If you have a large viewership, it can add up.

I'm so happy to hear that Shelley! I love to share what I do and make it more possible for others to make great abstract art. Welcome!!

Hello Susan
Thank you for telling us that almost all the time you do not know what you are going to paint when you start a painting. I rarely know that myself and it almost always changes throughout my painting . I like surprises as well.
Thank you!
LOVE painting intuitively as well!! I’m gonna follow your dark background idea…. Thanks! ❤
Sign of a dedicated artist: Hold paintbrush with teeth while using hands to do other work and tweaks! LOVE IT!!! You have spoken to my inner artist!!! 💚💛💜
I learn so much from your inner thinking about what you are doing. I hear the same things in my mind when I do my paintings.
Thank you so much

The brush with the branch is just an added tool which helps you not have control over the mark making. I love the surprises that happen with it. 🌸
Gorgeous Painting....
Thank you!
Thanks Adele for such a detailed tutorial for free, when i took art classes didn't even get that much teaching!
I am glad you are learning. I really enjoy sharing my lifetime of tips and techniques. Anything I can do to help artists succeed and bring more art into the world is what I strive to do. 🌸
That underpainting has so much depth!
I LOVE YOUR STYLE - ive just picked up acrylic painting and you really inspire me to be free and follow my instincts

I like the way you paint as life goes you never know what is around the corner, to quote life is like a box of chocolates.
This is so helpful, just a beginner here. I alwas admire art, but the problem is idk how to draw. I love colors and the freedom of art and makes me happy when i do it
I really appreciate your generosity and your incredible teaching talents.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you are learning something.
I totally agree with you on the dark background. It makes a huge difference for creating depth.
I Love your style of abstract painting, I am going to watch all of your videos help me to learn the art of abstract painting.
I love the way you approach colour and apply this methodology to your paintings. Marvellous!
OOOHH Adele, I just love this...! I was never someone for abstract art, but you changed my mind about it! Thank you so much for these video's!! I'm really going to try this.. Amanda from South Africa

I am thrilled that watching my videos has inspired you to paint again. Thank you so much for watching.

Oh... That music.... Chopen forever! Pure light infusion. You are great teacher and i like your taste in music as well.
Ahhh, thank you. 🌸

Seeing you painting is a delight! Thanks for sharing this intimate moment, teaching us how inspiration should come from the heart and from a peculiar lapse.
Thank you for demonstrating your techniques in so much depth. You are an amazing teacher 🎨 ❤️
Thank you so much. My teaching style is just me sharing. I don’t believe in perfection and I don’t want to be stressed out. I want to just enjoy it. 🌸
The colors are so elegant
I’ve just started using manganese blue and it’s pure magic. Also just discovered you and you’re pure magic too!
i LOVE that you made a little shed in your garden for your studio - my goal is to have a room which I can dedicate to my studio, however haven't been able to secure one yet in a share house rental property....one day!

Just brilliant thank you for sharing.
