In this video I'll show you how to make 2 abstract landscapes using acrylics AND a fun 3 step process. I'm using a limited color palette and focus on complimentary colors to achieve this elegant and relaxed painting style. We'll also make our own homemade "fluid acrylics" and we'll try painting with it - it gives gorgeous and unexpected results.
If you want to loosen up your painting style this video is for you. This simplified painting style is great to capture the essence of a place such as the colors and shapes. A modern way to paint that leave room for interpretation by the viewer. Feel free to adapt these methods to suit your painting style and try when painting - suitable for watercolor, acrylics and mixed media.
If you have ever asked yourself how to abstract a landscape this video will help answer that and give you the tools and techniques to give abstract painting a try.
The materials used in this video:
Acrylic colors: Titanium White, Ivory Black, Prussian Blue, Tourqouise, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Quinacridone Crimson.
Small plastic container for mixing paint
Spray bottle with water
Paper towels
Watercolor paper 140lb/300 gsm
Masking tape
Pencil, "Woody" pencils or watercolor pencils or pastels.

Hello fellow Painters ⭐⭐⭐ Welcome to the last video of 2022. We had snow recently and those beautiful snow covered landcapes were the inspiration behind the video today.
Happy holidays and Happy New Year - see you next year for a fabulous and creative 2023!
Seasons greetings and best wishes, Marie Louise
I love 💞, the amount of information 💓 you give 💝 in this 💖, interesting💓,💞video thanks for the beautiful video you share,💯,,💓.
You give the best advice: make painting a journey, not a destination. Thank you so much for your frequent videos! (I’m glad you’re feeling better too 😊)
Thank you so much!
I looked at the scetchbooks of young Picasso. He uses a lot dry pastel on guache. We would call it today mix media. :) But he simply was collecting his ideas and observations. He discovered photography mush later in his life, but used it too. And he predominantly drew people. Than. Later he used the still life to create compositions. But his cubist explorations began with landscape. What I remember he suposedly sayed was: collors are not important. You use them only to make gradations from dark to light and mark warm against cold. That was all. :) He even limited to just 1 color - blue. Greys wold warm it. Plus black. Amasing. Pink is a cold collor too. Just like blue. I do find both rather dificult for a beginner to imagine the warms and use predominantly colds. Not only that, but colds do allways tend to look darker and looms the danger to darken too much the work. Or make it too And the funny thing is they do look warmer when mixed with white too. It is very impressive to observe this when reaching for them. In his early works those collors were adding for more symbolism. In his landscapes he used good old green, black, white and some warm red, like english red f.i. Both very thick covering paints that you can manipulate endlessly to subdue them. But many won't find them much appealing for today standarts. And his method is simple too. 1. Mark the big shapes and directions with 4 basic collors: light, dark, cold and warm. 2. Brake the big shapes into smaller to connect them within. 3. Find the darkest and lightest spots and shape carefully the plases of interest, simultaneously subduing the rest of the shapes to them. It sounds easy, but is very tricky. And there is another thing : constantly keep track of the composition. All this has to be rulled by that. Not what you see infront of you, but on your canvas. No mater if your painting is abstract, semy-a or realistic. So what I see the Danish painter does is just that. Big shapes, break and connect, hit the accents.
Sorry for making it too long. :) I love what you do. Keep on making everybody happy like you do now.❤
As always, awesome video and great advice! I bought spiral bound books of watercolor paper, large and small, years ago because of you and one other, for this very thing. I love being able to get at least 2 or more on the larger ones. Got them on sale and I wasn't insanely worried about the brand, as long as it was 140lb... but that gave me the feeling of being free to play and try stuff out...whether acrylic, watercolor, charcoal or whatever... it somehow frees me up and feels less stressful. On a canvas or my good paper, I'm nervous to "mess it up"... but with plenty of pages and I can use both sides if I wanted to, it gives me a place to try out something I'm thinking about, maybe a new thing I want to try, without the stress of that big white canvas or good paper. I know I can paint over the acrylic on canvas as much as I want, and I've set aside 1 canvas for just that.... with recent surgical mishaps, I can't use my arms very well, and being down a lung, I have no energy... but, I set up 1 canvas that, when I feel that NEED to feel the paint, I can just walk over and grab any color and do a swoosh or 2, and leave it at that, and I'll just go until its filled, then start again. When I'm really not doing well but have to do something, I don't even use a brush☺I just get a blob on my finger and swoosh it on that way...much less clean up ;)
But with the paper I can keep something I do like, even if only part of a page, and again, lots of pages :)
I just love to watch you paint :) it brings me a ton of joy. And that color pallette is just gorgeous!!! And also thank you for those bits of scenery there! Its SO beautiful!! And that dusty rose color is just gorgeous!!
Thanks as always for making my day :)
Hope you are doing alright and can stay cuddled up nice and warm!🥰
I love your paintings and style..loose..
My favorite art was always impressionist with no people.
Like Van Gogh, Monet, Matisse.
Now retired have time to do the things I loved to do as a child.
Watching you I am learning to paint loose which is my intention but I often make it something..but I don’t want it to be clear..like a photo.
I love how your colors mix and is not one way of creating the painting,
I like using my hands. I like adding my chalk.
I am getting better. I just finished a big painting that I really like and proud of.
Yes it is loose, nice colors.
Now after this lesson I am going to use those colors and make it with more water.
Thank you. ❤
This showed up in my feed this morning. I’ve watched it before, but today was extra-inspiring. Thanks for sharing your vision.
Very grateful for what you are sharing. Beautiful advice and a big inspiration for moving forward and daring to explore new ways of expressing. Thank you from Canada.
Your painting came out beautifully. What a beautiful winter landscape.
Thank you for showing your process. Your subtle changes make such a difference.
Beautiful colors! You are always inspiring…now I need to paint. 😉 Thank you!
Thankyou for sharing - I’d like to give this ago - always struggling to trust myself and be looser and more expressive.😬
Very inspiring video, as are all of them thank you. I have a question please? What sort, and brand, of crayons are you using to get the loose effect? I love the idea of this but don't know what to buy to achieve the look. TIA.
Is it possible to number each video for me to be able to find them, when i want to get back to them? There are so many. I saw Bob Blasts recently, and he gave all his videos numbers and it works wonders.
Very beautiful paintings. Thanks for sharing.
What kind of pencil did you say you are using ? The chunky colored one
LOVED this video. Thank you for sharing
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 💐💐💐💐
I love how your skies have such celestial drama!
Another fabulous video… thank you Marie Louise. I’ve bought some of the Woody water soluble crayons… they’re great fun and really help me to loosen up. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I look forward to more inspirational videos from you in 2023. Mick. 😊🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas to you too ⭐️🎄

Hi Jeanette, yes my paper works get framed behind glass 😊
Great video! Do you let each layer dry before adding the next color?
Hi! I love your channel and your tutorials ❤. Thank you so much!!! Do you use reference photos?? I think it would be difficult to paint without a reference photo. Thank you 😊
Thank you Nancy! Yes I use both photos and sketches.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your process. I am also trying to loosen up my painting style. It is very hard after painting realism. Will keep on trying!

Really enjoyed watching this. You know I like your work. But again, you can feel the mood and ambience in these studies. Thank you again Marie Louise.
Thanks Shane and Merry Christmas to you ⭐️🎄
I love your paintings🤗the colourcombination is beautiful in every work of you. But I think its difficult for me to paint so loosely. I tried it some times, but I have to do it probably more often. Your landscape is so nice in Denmark and offers so interesting motives. Thank you very much for your Videos you share with us. Have a nice creative and healthy New Year. Best greetings from Marion in lower saxony, Germany, Hannover
Thank you Marion ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love these! Thanks for the video as always.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy seeing the videos and photos of your local landscape and would like to see a few more as part of your painting videos. Especially as I’m stuck at home with Covid at the moment! Jill 🇬🇧
Wishing you a speedy recovery 🥰
Thank you for this video. A good reminder of the techniques used in your online course. Will get back to those lessons and practice today. A good painting day in southern Ontario, snow and grey skies. Very moody. Inspiring. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you too ⭐️🎄
Thank you, Dankeschön und Grüsse nach Dänemark.
Thank you so much for this. I come from a watercolour background, but have recently felt the urge to try acrylics. Your tutorial is far and away the the best ‘how to’ tutorial for people like me. Thank you also for your free guide. Now I’m off to sign up to one of your courses. Excited!
My pleasure Genny 🌷🌷
I started painting along as soon as I got notification that your video is up. I love practicing looseness with you and always get inspired to play. Thank you and merry Christmas, Marie-Louise. 🎄🌟🎨
