- In this abstract painting tutorial, I show you how to create a captivating story using the power of a rough and loose abstract painting. As an artist, I believe that abstract painting allows for boundless creativity and imagination to flow onto the canvas. With my trusty acrylic paint colors - Cobalt blue, Crimson, bright aqua green (amzn.to/3O9pVVi), Mars black, and titanium white - we will embark on a journey of storytelling through brushstrokes.
Abstract painting is a remarkable form of expression, allowing us to communicate emotions, ideas, and narratives in a unique and unconventional way. By harnessing the power of abstraction, we can tap into the depths of our imagination and create a story that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Painting a story with a rough abstract painting offers numerous benefits. First and foremost, it allows us to break free from traditional narratives and explore unconventional plotlines. Abstract art encourages viewers to interpret the story based on their own experiences, sparking curiosity and engagement. It invites them to dive deep into the layers of color, texture, and form, enabling a personal connection to the artwork.
Furthermore, abstract painting offers a liberating and therapeutic experience. Through intuitive painting, we can embrace spontaneity and let our instincts guide the brush. This process fosters a sense of freedom and authenticity, resulting in a story that is uniquely ours.
In this tutorial, I will guide you step-by-step on how to create an abstract painting that tells a compelling story. You will learn techniques to blend colors, create texture, and convey emotions through brushstrokes. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a beautiful abstract painting that carries its own narrative, waiting to be discovered by those who observe it.
So, join me on this creative journey as we delve into the world of abstract painting and paint a story that transcends traditional boundaries. Get ready to unlock your imagination, explore the wonders of acrylic paint, and witness the incredible power of storytelling through art. Let's dive in and create something truly extraordinary together.
Keep on painting!

Haha! I always feel like whatever I listen to gets trapped inside the painting 🤪 … love it!!!
Hey Mandi! Wouldn't you love to know what people were listening to every time you looked at a painting?
I love the final orientation too. To me it’s a comfy bed with pillows and window. I like it a lot.
Thanks, Kerrie! Haha, I look at it as a bed with a big pillow as well.
thanks again Chris, aqua green is a great colour!
Hey, M! It's definitely a colour I wasn't expecting to use as much as I have.❤️
Bonjour Chris ❤❤❤ c'est toujours magnifique 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bonjour Martine! Merci beaucoup ❤️
With abstracts, I wait to see what shows in the end., well sometimes i see almost to the end. But basically throwing colors down to see what materializes. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Elisa! We have a similar approach. I think that's what's so exciting about painting abstracts - getting to see what's revealed in the end.
@@chrisloudart agreed 🙌🏼
I so enjoyed this, always look forward to the commentary too. I paint without a story, one may emerge, or not. I think I will try to paint with a story in mind and see what happens. Thanks! Always such wonderful inspiration.
Thanks, Kathy! Let me know how painting with a story in mind goes.
I love it ! I waz saying to myself....i little bit of orange and you did it at the same time ! 🙃 merci !
Merci beaucoup, Sophie!
I never know what the end result will be which is fascinating, it keeps me trying to guess haha. Again, I admire that there´s no pressure to come up with anything in particular, just navigating the canvas to see what happens... Love the end result 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I usually don't know what the end result is going to be either, which makes it so fun to paint. Of course, I get some duds along the way, but those are fun to paint as well.
Love it, and love the aqua too. Before you said it, my mind was going to a bank of TVs. I tend to build an idea at the very beginning. It's almost impossible for me to work intuitively
Thanks, Becky! It's definitely not easy to keep yourself from thinking while you're painting, especially when something stands out.
Very nice!!
Thanks, Sharon!
Love this! You're amazing!!!❤️
Thanks so much, Miss Polly!
I was on the fence with this one until towards the end you put a little bit of that pale orange colour then it was oh yeah! My favourite orientation was when it was upside. Cheers!
Hey Howling! Yeah, that orange gave it a little something it needed. I was not feeling great about it until near the end.
@@chrisloudart I think it was just the touch it needed. Cheers!
I do both. I paint with a story if I have one or intuitive if I don't have a story. I never paint for the viewer. I also never think about the person who going to view my painting and what they will need to add.
Thanks for the feedback, Thomas! I'm right there with you, I paint and come up with stories for myself. I do love hearing what others see in paintings. We all look at the same piece of art so uniquely.
I rarely know the story of my art. To me, the art is the storyteller and I am just the vessel through which it speaks. It is not up to me to tell the story. This is not to say that this is how all art should be. As in most creative outlets, such as music, dance, pottery, etc, the art is the expression, and we, the artists, are there to hear what the art wants. This is only my own, personal view. Others may feel differently. My take is, art is alive. It breathes. It has a heartbeat. It also has a voice, yet, it needs someone to help it be heard. That is the artists job. For me, to help the art, I find that if I bring music in, as I am painting, it helps the art tell me what it wants. Art can work together. Music can speak to paint, and, for me, paint speaks to the music. But, I think any creative outlet works with any other to make a whole. That is the true voice. We, as artists, are there to propel that voice, only then, will it be heard.
Hey Emily! Thanks for your feedback. That was exquisitely put! I'm a believer that music helps release the painting.
Hi Chris, this is very interesting - I usually find my muse right about when I'm wondering if I should stop painting. Never even occurred to me until you brought it up. Now I can see a collaboration between abstract painter and short story writer. That would be an exciting exercise in creativity. Thanks again for a great tutorial video.
Hey, Ann! That sounds like a fun challenge to put to everyone - paint and abstract and write a short story about it. Love it! 😊
Loved your video it reminds me of passing through life with its ups and downs from beginning to end as it were
Hello! What a lovely painting again. I just sit and watch you painting, and I am fascinated! The thoughts at the beginning were: Oh, no, that won't work, and the music he listens to will turn the painting into something chaotic. (I do like a lot of different music, but today I feel quite peaceful, not really punky 😉) But hey, it is a great painting! I like the last orientation best, too.
Music influences my way of painting, as well. I usually start off with some calm music to get focused. Should I get too focused, I listen to Daft Punk. I just have to move the brush or whatever tool I use with the rhythm. I will play with the colours and it fascinates me every time how one can apply them. If I am stuck or frustrated, Rap or Punk will "guide" me through this phase😂.The stories reveal themselves at the end.
Thanks again for your videos. They are certainly a highlight to start my day off here in Australia. 🌻
Hey Brigit! Thank you for such wonderful feedback. I was right there with you when I was painting at the beginning thinking, "not sure this is going to work out." And at one point I considered changing the music, but thought I needed to go with it. Worse comes to worse I would end up with a good background for another painting. I don't think I've listened to Daft Punk while painting - looks like I now have my music selected for painting tomorrow 😀 thanks! How are things in Australia?
Actually I just dropped off some paintings for an art show here in the bays at the weekend. Anyone could enter, so it wasn't difficult to get in. But!!! It's my first time to exhibit some of my paintings and I am very nervous, especially after seeing some of the other artworks. Not many abstracts so far. Which might be good. But of course there is the self doubt. Anyway, we'll see how it will go.
Enjoy Daft Punk, Random Access Memories is my favourite album.
Another great demo, Chris, with a really engaging commentary... i constantly have stories going on in my head as i paint, much more so abstract than figurative. I really liked the crude minimalism at 1.29-1.49 and another point just before you got your fence painting brush and began whitewashing. I more or less imagined a bus journey along the coast 😊 👍👍👍
Thanks, Emmanuel! Haha, I did go a little Tom Sawyer and cover up a bit of the background. I love the bus journey take on this, I liked that stage of the painting.
Art for art sake
❤️
Started off loving it but not so much by the end. Good try though. Subscribed, I think you're interesting 👏👏
Thanks, Leslie! So at what point did you feel it went wrong? When I added the white?
