abstract art painting demo. depth & movement with simple blending & washes. Fun & Easy

This is Liquitex Matte medium, when I pick up paint on my pallet sometimes I double dip with medium!

[MichaelLangArt]

You can try it but I prefer not to, water doesn't really thin the paint it just breaks it down, that's why you can clean your brushes in it. To retain the rich color and fluid motion of the polymer (acrylic) you need to thin and dilute it using a material with the same basic chemical makeup. That's why they make mediums.Good luck!

For those of you who say it's a painting of nothing...you need to pray that God will fix your imagination and your heart. Neither are working correctly. Michael, when I watch you paint, it's so beautiful I want to cry.

I would call that picture heavenly, its like a rainbow has mingled all its colours together and there is an angelic face in there.

This is stunning. Cloud nebula is what I see. Takes me far away ❤️

The really fun part of this is that anyone can get a canvas and the old acrylic paint pots we all have hidden away somewhere and create a unique piece. I love it! It is beautiful and so relaxing to look at.

This makes me so happy! It is mesmerizing and inspiring to all of us trying to find our journey with the paints and the brushes. As I read through the comments and questions here I am delighted to see you responding to some questions. Given the amount of your followers and the time you must spend at this - that is much appreciated. Hats off to you. Your work is a

HI. I see that you made this 8 years ago but I just happened to be fortunate enough to have it in my recommended videos. I am so in awe of this amazing piece of art. As another person commented, I am obsessed as well. I have never been one to delve into painting or any type of beautiful artistry like this but have always been crafty...i know its two completely different things but connected in some ways. I recently have been drawn to wanting to try. I have purchased supplies on end, watching YT videos more and more...so whats stopping me???? I guess the dream of wanting to create something so beautiful and then the fear of faiing at it lol. But you, in just this one video, have inspired me to JUST TRY IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT!!!

Abstract painting believe it or not, is very difficult. I tried it and thought oh this will be a piece of cake…nope. So, I let my niece paint for me and I would add balance to her pictures. Kids are the best abstract artist's. This is very good, you make it look so easy.

I think of the Creation of the universe. Absolutely breathtaking!

this master of fine arts is using acrylics, for all those who think fine blending can only be done with oils. i'm seeing Michael use mediums and water.  that's it, I think.

I am still stunned. My dream would be to do a canvas even a fraction as beautiful of yours. The light, the movement, the delicacy of the paint and how every brush stroke had a purpose, I can only dream. I am disabled I love art usually regular art but I am trying to get to learn new techniques that please me not painting for a commission. So I have a 24 hour period without any commitment so I can paint when I want, I have the paints, the tools and the canvass I don't have the knowledge. So I saw you have DVD's but the DVD player is at the other end of the house! I will have to find a way. Thank you so much I have had such joy watching you.

I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see this video. I'm a beginner painter and I discovered a passion for it. I'm into watercolor now but this makes me want to learn acrylics. Thank you so much. I love this picture and all the art you've posted. A real talent. Thanks for inspiring!

[kirawright]

Beautiful..  simply beautiful.. thank you for sharing your talent!!

[pixelgecko]

i love this. abstract painting looks like something ANYONE can do, but as those of us that know better, only masters can do it this well!

[kathrynwatson]

That is EXACTLY! how I want to paint! I don't care about a message.. I want you to get lost in color and movement when you look at it.. to stop for a moment the racket in your head and just be in the moment! I love it!

[jeannietoppi]

Wow!!! Absolutely amazing...thank you for sharing your gift. Truly inspiring.

[huubdumont]

That must be it Suzanne! Ii's nearly impossible that someone doesn't like this beautiful painting! Danielle Dumont, The Netherlands

26 people "thumbs down" this video because when they tried it, it looked like they smeared feces on a canvas. This is beautiful, I've watched this video about 6 time, I love it!
