From Mess to Abstract Art | Mixed Media Painting Demo

- In this video, I’m using an easy prompt and creating vibrant mixed-media abstract art inspired from a mess. This mixed media painting demo is more than just splashing paint on a canvas; it's about finding beauty in the unexpected and transforming the mundane into something extraordinary.

The challenge was simple yet thought-provoking: abstract something typically seen as a mess and turn it into a stunning piece of art. My muse? A cluster of trash caught in the nook of a building, whipped up by the wind. It might sound odd, but this sight sparked a burst of creativity in me. You could take a similar approach, using anything from a pile of unwashed clothes, a sink full of dirty dishes, a muddy puddle, or even the mental clutter in your head. It's all about perspective and interpretation.
This painting demo isn't just an abstract art; it's about creating a beautiful mess. I used a mix of materials, including recycled cardboard, acrylic paint skins, and old paper towels from previous painting sessions. This approach not only adds a unique texture to the piece but also integrates materials from past painting sessions into the collage artwork.
For me, mixed media painting is all about experimentation and play. I included various textures, colors, and compositions, injecting a sense of energy and life into the canvas. It was like using the energy of chaos into something visually appealing, a beautiful mess that captures the eye and the imagination.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, this video is a fantastic opportunity to explore the realms of colorful painting and abstract expression. And remember, you don't need to stick to mixed media art; the same concept can be brilliantly executed with just acrylic paints. So, grab your brushes (or whatever tools you fancy), and create some chaotic yet captivating abstract art!
And remember, keep on painting!

Ďakujem vám, že ste nám ukázali ukážkovú koláž. Máte talent spåjať rôzne tvary a farby. Takto je výsledok kultivovaný, príjemný a harmonický. 😊
Ďakujem pekne Zuzana!❤️
Great video, my mind went coastal, tks inspiring 🥰🥰🥰🥰UK
Thanks, BM! I have this up in my studio and I agree, my thoughts go to a coast with this one. 😊
Love this idea Chris. So many potential ideas and emotions to explore. Appreciate you sharing!
Hey Paul! Thanks so much!
What a great idea 🎉. Thanks!
Thanks, Ritta!
ha, it looks like an old seacoast town in italy. excelent!
It does! I love that perspective❤️ Thanks, Carole!
I always learn something interesting from you.😊
I'm so glad to hear that, Mary Anne!
It was relaxing to watch the process and maybe I will be redirected to some of the stuff i keep lying around, but i know i am not a manic upcycler on canvas... yet. The composition seems to work, and i was just imagining aerial views of a coastline. Thank you, Chris.😊
Thanks, Emmanuel! It was relaxing to do. It most definitely has an aerial view of a coastline. I realized I needed to start using more of the paper I've been "collecting" or it was going to get out of control. 🤦♂️
Lpve that too. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Thanks so much, Diane!
I love the idea of decluttering both by using up scraps ( I have sooo much) and decluttering mentally as I create. I also love how this turned out. 🙂
Thank you so much! Creating is such a great way to clear the mind from all the daily noise.
Was waiting to C art on top of this interesting background ...
This would definitely make for great texture if I added more paint.😊
I just discovered you. I like what I'm seeing. Just subscribed.
Thanks, Debbie! Welcome😊
Great idea. I keep some of my used paper towels because the colors are prettier than my paintings many times. This image makes me think of a map…the land overflowing with garbage and the sea being relatively clean.
Thanks, Denise! I know what you mean.😂😂😂
YES!!
Thanks, Angie!
I just discovered you on you tube and I love your work. This video is so creative!!
Thank you Barbara! I really appreciate it!❤️
Love it! Love how you show everything has a use ❤
Thanks, Kelly! It definitely gets your creative juices flowing trying to reuse some of this stuff 😊
I am so inspired by this. I'm going to do this tonight. It looks amazing. Texture and mess is my thing so this appeals to me. I love watching all of your abstract videos because they're always just fantastic.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words and that you're going to give this a go.❤️🖌️
This is a terrific idea, Chris and I really like your interpretation. You have spawned so many iterations in my mind - can't wait to have at it. Thank you, once again.
Thanks so much, Ann! I'm so glad to hear this got your creative juices flowing 😊
👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Just come across your channel.
Really enjoyed watching this video.
I've used bubble wrap to add paint marks, but not to create texture, will have to give it a go.
Thank you! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this!😊 You can get great textures using bubble wrap as is or by scrunching it up a little and dabbing thick bits of paint with it. Let me know how it goes.
Very fun Chris!
Thanks, Yolande!
Well....that's the PRETTIEST trash I have seen!😄The COLORS are perfect! 🖌️
😂😂Thank you so much!❤️
@@chrisloudart😊You are very welcome!! Paint on!!🖌️🖌️🖌️
Love this, 😂 I used up all my watercolor scraps making modern triangular Christmas trees for Christmas cards this year.
But I was just heading to the garbage with my paint covered scott towels clutched in my hand 😂 and I have cardboard........
Haha, I have to keep myself in check so I don't save too much in hopes of using it all up. With that said, I'm surprised how much I found a use for. That's a great idea for making Christmas cards! Thanks, Nicole!
@@chrisloudart you're very welcome it makes really cute cards all different, a Merry Christmas and a snowflake ❄️ and you're done !
@@nicoleperron3315 I'll make note of that for next Christmas!🌲
Hi Chris! Wow this is kinda how my mind has been feeling lately😂I really like this one. I love watching your process. I liked the olive green but the blue is what it needed. Seeing the darker blue just at the edge of the collage really gave the whole thing that dimension. Great painting! Do you literally work in the moment when using papers and scraps? I'm still having trouble just DOING. I'm overthinking it. 😏
Thanks! Susan in AZ🏜️
Hey Susan! Thank you 😊 I do work in the moment, however, since this is sped up, it looks like I am reacting much faster than I actually am. I do several timed thumbnail warm-ups each day which forces me to act quickly and helps build those creative muscles. Those have been quite beneficial. No time to overthink👍
Love this and a great motivator for using scraps. Is blue your favorite color? After watching many of your videos I have an inkling that it's a comfort color for you. (Not a bad thing) I love how the green base color shows up from the bubble wrap.
Thank you, Laurie! Green is my favorite color, however, as you've noticed I do love painting with blue. It is definitely my go to color.💙
I like this work. Very beautiful collage. Thanks
Thank you so much, Luigina!
Enjoy watching this. Whatever happens. We don't always have to concentrate deeply about everything.
@@marypavlik7912 Thanks, Mary! Good point😊
Really funny ❤
Thanks, Susana!😊
Umm... Two pieces?
Hey Angelina! Not sure what your question means 😊
..?
I'm getting the sense that you're puzzled about something. Am I close?
Thank you! ❤️
