In this second 'how-to' video I am creating another abstract painting using a few simple blending techniques using pieces of card. Here's the first video in case you haven't seen it yet: • Paint a SIMPLE abstrac...
No brushes required - you just need some card! Everyone can have a go at this - no previous painting experience is required.
We'll cut it up and use it to spread out and blend acrylic paint into some really cool shapes and forms. I am using an 80cm canvas but you can literally use anything that will take paint if you haven't got any canvas to use.
Look out for the first video where we go through all the basics of what you need and what to use to create a beautiful, colourful painting - completely different to this one! - and using simple, easy to understand tools and techniques. Watch it here: • Paint a SIMPLE abstrac...

Love it , such a good teacher u r and using basic things to just paint , thanks .
Thanks so much 😊
Super, danke .!!!!!!! So sauber ist mein Atelier noch nie gewesen!😂
Excellent!
'You should be careful with the colour black -- it is a very final sort of colour'. Terrific description!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽I am going to remember this for years to come.
Most excellent - thank you!
Warning: this is a very long post so if that bothers anyone you should probably just keep scrolling. 😊 This video is the first one of yours I came across and now I'm hooked! Finally, someone who uses the kind of colors I use and doesn't hold back either with color or feeling! Thank you! Your work is amazing! Although my style is similar to yours I don't have your confidence at all! I taught mixed media art to kids for over 25 years I have only recently begun abstract painting. Watching many TH-cam videos left me feeling mostly uninterested. I am so grateful that you share your experience so freely. Finally, an artist with whom I resonate. You have inspired me to really pursue my art path. Something that has always held me back is when paint something I think it isn't art. But when I see another artists' painting in a similar style or design I never question if it's art. Of course, it is! Do you have any suggestions for how I can overcome this? I see other artists seem to automatically accept/know that their work is art. I always feel like people will think some variation of "my (insert very young age) could do that"! Or, 'what is that supposed to be?" Or the most cringe-inducing, " I guess she can't paint realistically so she does this so she can pretend to be an artist". Did you always know what you do is art? Why do I need to convince myself/others? I completely understand if you don't want to get into this. It's just that I have NEVER told anyone about this and I truly connect with your art. So, I thought I would take a chance. If you made it this far I appreciate it very much! All the best to you!
Yes Shauna - I read it all! Remember that art is a label - nothing more. It exists, like all labels, to allow us as a species to make sense of things ad move on. But unlike many other things in life, it is a subjective thing. Now, any academic who reads this will be enraged as there are predefined determined aesthetics and properties that 'art' should confine to (according to academic study) but I think all that is crap! Paint what you like, who the hell cares anyway? Go research Marcel Duchamp and his urinal - then tell me you feel better calling your work art!!
I get negative feedback just as all creative people do - I just laugh because I am confident in what i do. I just make stuff I like to look at, that's all. And that's all your audience and clients will ever care about too so who cares about anybody else's opinion!
Thanks for choosing a wide open, public forum to share something like this - i appreciate that took some doing but you did it and your work and confidence will grow as a result. So it's win win for you today Shauna! Thanks for the message!! Ed
@@SwarezArt Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me. I figured I cannot be the only one who feels this way. I know I'm not the only one helped by your response. I feel the same as you regarding the "fine art folks" who like to tell the rest of us what defines art. I especially love their "rule" that real artists only paint with oils. Ugh! Anyway, I don't know why I do this to myself when I am so good at encouraging others. My husband is very supportive but I always tell myself he's biased. It's interesting that except for my art self-critic issue I am confident and outspoken. I read your response 3x and have decided to take your very good advice. I love the way you said that you just make stuff you like to look at. It's simple yet brilliant! I way overthink this regarding my own art. I may have to "act as if" for a while but even that is better than treading the same water forever. I am truly grateful and I take your words to heart. When I watch your videos I am astounded that every piece you create is outstanding. As you walk through your studio past the kaleidoscope of canvas my spirit is truly lifted! You're the best! Well, I'm off to check out the urinal you suggested. That sounded a bit weird, haha, but I am curious. All the best to you!
@@shaunabrom8593 you are very welcome Shauna - glad I could help a little!
"Feel the fear and do it anyway" is a philosophy I've grown to love. "What's the worst that can happen?" is another aspect. We're so good at self deprecation, (I say we as I'm prone to self doubt and inner criticism too).
It's time to put away the negativity now ... let's create and just be happy with what we do and are..
😀😀😀😀
Ok
WONDERFUL and wonderfilled!! 🎨
Thanks very much John!
@Jax Remington Exciting! Can you share the result? I'd love to see it!

Omg! Just about missed it! Hello from Jacquie from Canada 🇨🇦
Hello!
I love it very nice more tutorial sir i want to learn more about abstract art😊
Thanks. Plenty of resources out there for you
As an abstract artist who uses acrylic paint I really appreciate you starting lessons in this medium and look forward to future lessons. Whilst I love watching what you do with enamel paint I cant ever imagine gearing up to undertake the kind of work that you live stream in your studio/laboratory. Please keep up your teaching online as it is a great source of inspiration and a joy to watch.
Wow! Thank you Rod - really appreciate your generous thoughts...
@@SwarezArt you should list the exact vibrant colors you used in a link.They are very bright and beautiful I love them! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent wisdom for the beginner. Love your content.

Still in love with this style of acrylic painting. This is my medium for now.
Excellent!
Fantastic,,,so,,vibrant,,,,
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much Ed for this video tutorial! I watched a lot of videos about abstract painting, but I could not dare myself to start like this, on a large canvas. Although I still poorly understand English, even so, your technique gave me inspiration and I will certainly try. I certainly subscribed to your channel and will, as far as possible, learn from your experience. Thank you again!
That is very kind of you, thank you! I hope you continue and get creative. Thank you for supporting the channel.
The bigger the canvas the easier it is since you’re freer and less conscious of the limitations of space.
@@dianebonneau2350 Yes you are right. Therefore, I prefer to paint a picture on large canvases.
I've been using acrylic paints for a couple of years and been longing to get into abstract painting. Your lessons are such fun, easy to follow and you have this wonderful voice. Thank you so much, I'm totally hooked.
You are so welcome Barbara - thank you!
You art work is beautiful.
Thank you so much Carolyn! 😀
Amazing! I will be trying
Great to hear!!!
I enjoyed your demonstration, it reminded me why I was so in love with creating large canvas artworks. Thanks for sharing.
Most kind; thank you!
Fantastic Fun and Fabulous and you are an inspiration and have jump started my creative juices and started them flowing again. Thank you so much!!!
Some of the paintings in the background are the most beautiful abstract paintings ever made!
The video is a treat from first to last second.
Not only a great artist, but a great person )))))
Thank you so much 😀 wow! I am very humbled by that - thank you again!
Hi nice meeting you very beautiful arts creations thx 😊
Thanks and welcome!!
Wow! Excellent
Thanks Vahini!
A masterclass in understanding and approach. So wonderful!
Wow, thank you!
Gotta give huge thumbs up for your videos. Very patient and provides all we need to know about acrylic painting. Can’t wait to hit the board with what I’ve learnt here. Thanks a lot!
You’re very welcome indeed! Thank you for your kind words.
beautiful work
Thank you LaTonya!!
The start of that almost looked like fire type colors if that makes sense very cool
It does - and thank you!
I've just discovered your channel - your abstract artwork is beautiful, I have never been able to do this type of painting, but after watching this tutorial I will have a go - it is so well demonstrated I don't think I can go wrong - at least I hope I turn out a reasonable panel. Many thanks Thelma Marsh.
Thank you so much Thelma - can't wait to see how you get on😀!! Thanks for the kind words...
Thank you...I Love color and texture and you made my day. For those of us who can’t afford to buy cans and cans of enamel paints...we appreciate the way you show us some fun with acrylics. Love everything you create, so show us more. ❤️❤️😊👏🏻👏🏻
That's really kind of you - thank you!
My favorite 🤩 one🥰 beautiful colors ❤️
Thank you very much!!
GREAT TUTORIAL, SWAREZ!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!👏👏👏👍
My pleasure!
Love it! Looks like an amazing landscape in abstract form. Beautiful
Thanks very much - most kind!
I'm just starting to get into abstract painting. I've watched a few videos on this topic but yours is by far the most inspiring to me. Using tools like a squeegee and cardboard in lieu of brushes and such is opening a world of possibilities. The results are amazing. I'm even learning new and novel words such as larder. Now I know where it is I keep my cereal boxes--and another future painting tool!! Brilliant to say the least.
That’s great to hear Karl! Cereal boxes now have a new lease of life!!! Really appreciate your feedback buddy. Thank you 😊
I agree with you!
Loved loved it loved it I have an exhibition recently in 17 to December I am going to try something like this but I am not an expert like you I would be praying that thank you man thank you so much thank you
You can do it! Have fun and thank you for your kind words!
I love it!!!
Thanks Alanisa!

Welcome back Rosy and thank you. we hope to inspire as many creatives as possible 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this technique! Enjoyed it very much! Really appreciate your work that is displayed in your studio!
Thank you very much Dale!
Love the bright colors, your technique and classroom style! We're waiting on a part for our furnace (which died), so I'm watching this wrapped in a blanket near a space heater. Your video warmed my heart and put a smile on my face. It's very inspirational! Can't wait to give this a try. THANK you for this.
Thank you so so much Tina! Hope you get thing back to normal soon and please know I appreciate your words enormously!
Namaste Guru. Thank u very much for your teaching so artistically.
You're most welcome!!
AN artist studio so cleaned and so well organized? That's so unusual and I apreciate It very much. I Like your art and your way
Thank you very much Biluna; I like to keep tidy!
And you do it very, very well but most important is rhe fact that this way you transmit respect to everybody, calm, harmony, peace and beauty not only with your precious ART but with all your way of creating. I love order but when It is soo, soo beautifull is just perfect. Congratulations from the very deeply. BEST regards.
Great tutorial dude. I’m a landscape artist and have tried my hand at abstract but ballsed it up. You made it look easy. You’re also a really good presenter. Loved the piece you did about art galleries taking the piss. ☺️🙏
Thank you so much Pat!
Maravilhosa ❤❤❤❤
Gracias!!
COOL!! the painting looks like hot Lauva !
Ooooh, nice!! Thanks Lisa
Thank you so much for sharing this
You are so welcome
Thank You Ed,
Like the different sizes of
texture. Great colours.
I will have to explore that myself.
I like different textures also and I do use
cardboard cereal packets. I normally am more
uniformed with the colours though.
I also use gaff a tape to have straight lines.
So I will definitely explore more. 👏🌈🇬🇧🍀🦄
Thanks Marion
A gorgeous piece. I really enjoy your videos. They are very inspiring to me.
