Abstract acrylic painting on XXL canvas part 1, from the first brush stroke to the finished painting

This is the first part of my 3-part-video about the creation of a large format abstract painting. In this video I show the first steps of the painting process of my acrylic painting “Raspberries kissed my Gin Tonic”. My way of working makes it clear how the image builds up layer by layer and sometimes it is necessary to weaken parts that I have grown fond of so that others can become more dominant. I painted on a canvas that is not yet stretched on a stretcher frame. It will then be sent rolled up. The work measures 214 cm x 140 cm.

My name is Kirsten Handelmann, I am a freelance artist and qualified graphic designer from Hanover in Germany. My great passion is abstract painting.
In my videos I would like to give you insights into my work processes, i.e. applying layers of paint, assessing them and painting over them again. I would also like to introduce you to some of my finished works and also show you small scenes from my daily artistic work, such as preparing a work for shipping when it has been sold.
But what I also want to document is that not everything always leads to satisfactory results straight away. It can be a long process with many detours until the work is finished for me, and sometimes it is better to put the work away for now.
I usually work on several paintings at the same time, which I repeatedly bring out and re-evaluate. Often, with a little distance, I can immediately see what they need.
I only use acrylic paints and very consciously use the interplay of the different transparencies.
I bought all the materials myself, but I still mark my videos with the word “advertising” in some places because I can’t always prevent products or product names from appearing in the video.
If you like my work, I would be very happy if you would subscribe to my channel, like, share and comment on my videos. Thanks so much!
Now I wish you much joy
while watching
Warm greetings from Hanover, Kirsten
