For this abstract painting demo, I used a variety of colors such as Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, cerulean blue, light blue permanent, alizarin crimson, permanent magenta, cadmium orange, titanium white, and Payne's gray acrylic paint. I also used an acrylic gel medium, a palette knife, a filbert brush, a $1 brush from the hardware store, and my hands.
Not only is this technique quick and easy, but it also allows you to use leftover paint that would normally go to waste. Simply peel the dried acrylic paint off your palette, and then apply it to your paper with a palette knife or brush.

With just a few simple steps, you can transform your paintings from ordinary to extraordinary. So, if you're ready to add some quick texture to your abstract acrylic paintings, be sure to watch this video and try this technique for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

I AM AMAZED HOW QUICKLY YOU PUT THOSE FABULOUS COLORS AND TEXTURES TOGETHRR. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME OF YOUR FINISHED WORK JUST FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF IT.
Thanks, Connie! I'm working on a couple of videos now where I'll be doing larger canvas pieces. You can see some of my work on Instagram @chrisloudart.
Like what you did...Simply and GREAT...Thank you for sharing...Nice to see what you making...
Thanks, Grozda!
Chris, you always have such great ideas. I don't always comment, but I see all of your videos and really look forward to them. Thanks for the time and dedication it takes to post these for us.
Thank you, Lori! I appreciate you watching these and taking the time to comment! I thoroughly enjoy making these videos😊
Love this, reminds me of the ocean and I’m not a beach girl but I love this - so many stories in it!!🌊🐠
Thanks, Mandi! Yeah, it definitely has that look to it. I'm glad you commented on this one. You reminded me that I was planning on doing a series from this and never did. I think I'll work on that today.
I love this so much. I think you should frame it. The colours and textures are amazing.
Thanks so much, Jen! I just finished taking a workshop on matting and framing yesterday and plan on doing just that with this one.😊
Like you, for texture I rely on gesso. I also scrunch up tissue paper & paint/gesso over it. I just recently tried drywall tape for texture, too, and love it! I also love your channel! It’s my “go to” place for great explanations, practical info, ideas, & inspiration. Keep up the wonderful work!
Thanks so much, JH! Love your texture ideas and will give them a try. I save some of my paper towels that I use when I paint. My plan is to add some to a canvas when I add my initial layers of gesso to add texture and color. We'll see how that goes.😊
Gorgeous piece! Love the color palette. That touch of violet is a lovely addition! 😍
Thanks, Tracy! How did the market go?
@@chrisloudart it was great! Had a great second day and several pieces found their new homes along with some prints. I loved doing it! Can’t wait for the next one. 😊
@@tracyloringart That's awesome! I'm so happy for you!
This is really nice, it looks like something under thick ice.
Thanks, Kerrie! I love that description!
Great idea! I am also collecting peeled paint, just because some pieces are beautiful from colour or structure, or both. Now I know what to do with the structure thingies. I like structure and use quite often tin foil, choclate paper or the like. Once i bought tiny, tiny glas beads (some sort of filling material) which I like to sprinkle into wet paint. Nice effect is that they shimmer like the paint below them, depending on incident of light.
Thanks, Margret! And thanks for the wonderful texturing suggestions!😊
Bonjour Chris 😊😊 magnifique ❤❤❤
Bonjour Martine! Merci
Lovely to watch the creation.👍 One of the things i still find difficult is creating a focal point when i try this kind of picture. And, i have to say, i use a standard kitchen plate as a palette and it's fascinating to see what comes off occasionally. 😂
Thanks, Emmanuel! Yeah, focal points can be kind of tricky. I typically look for areas of contrast to see if I can work with those. Haha, I've never tried a plate. Does the paint peel off?
@Chris Loud Art thanks for the advice Chris... areas of contrast... and yes, ceramic seems good for peeling off paint. Unlikely to be as good as non stick palettes, but it works for me.
It's gorgeous - love the colors and textures you created in this piece.
Thanks, Peggy!
So far modeling paste and gel medium for texture. I have some paint skins and I'm looking forward to trying some multimedia projects. My pallet is the glass from an old photo frame with electrical tape around the sided
Hey Becky! I know several artists that use glass with tape around the edges and swear by it. Do you have anything attached underneath (e.g. cardboard) or just the glass?
@Chris Loud Art Just the glass right now. But I work on a white folding table, so it doesn't affect mixing colors
My palette is similar. A heavy glass rectangle cheeseboard or cutting board I found in a op shop. Works a treat.
Do you ever use sand for texture?
Hey Denise! I haven't yet, however, I have a bag of sand sitting in my studio exactly for that purpose. How about you?
@@chrisloudart yes, a bit messy but probably would’ve worked better if I had let it dry 😝
@@DDartlover8888 Haha, been there many times! I'm excited to give it a try.
