Abstract acrylic painting, playing with transparencies, creative painting process, layer by layer

In this "work-in-progress" video I introduce you to my abstract acrylic painting "Weightless". I show the complete creative process from image composition to finalization.
I painted exclusively with acrylic paints on a canvas.

Title: "Weightless"
Format: 40cm x 40cm
Material: acrylic on canvas
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.

Love the layers you create. I have only watched this 1 video of yours. I have subscribed to your channel now. Are you using acryllics? Is it watered down ? I am trying to create layers and some negative painting on top of that. Can you give me a few tips to achieve this?

[@kirstenhandelmannART]

Hi Gregory, yes, I use acrylics with different transparency.
