Easy Abstracts - How to create abstract art without thinking.

Here is a link to my Skillshare classes.

Super easy abstract paintings that you can create when you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed. You can create these with any medium and at any size, I have used A3 size paper but you can go smaller or larger.

Fascinating…. And you are right… these compositions would never happen on a single piece of paper….it feels so free! Thanks for sharing!

Thank goodness for the algorithams that sent you to me. What a fabulous technique, I can't wait to give it a try. Love from South Africa

I found that when I want random loose strokes, I use my non dominant hand. It really works because the dominant hand wants to control and make specific tight strokes. Try it. It’s great for highlight and adding accent or contrasting color details.

I can not thank you enough for this little exercise. Tried it and had trouble loosening up at first but then started to really let my perfection go. The real "wow" moment was when I took them apart. Each piece was something I would have never have created on my own.

I did this! I loosely followed along with your video and created my first ever abstract painting. I'm crafty, but I don't consider myself an artist or a painter, however...I am so enamored with how my paintings turned out! I never would have thought to try this on my own, but I'm so happy I did! Thank you!

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. This is exactly what I needed in my lovely life. ❤️

Well Well Well this is great! I have a long story 65yrs but don’t have the energy to explain. I have been searching for over 12 months for what where and when I actually produce repetitive good art. I fortunate to stumble upon an outlet for frustration and to find my style. I am a little late in seeing your video. Who do you call when you need to chat about art? Ha ha it’s not obvious to many people it’s actually you tube that has brought my journey to art. My lucky stars.
I’ve subscribed and will follow with intensity to learn watch and eventually create art I’m happy to do.

I have to admit in the beginning I was like YIKES! But in the end this was GENIUS!!!! I can't wait to try this! Thanks

[cnorovich]

Oh my gosh……I LOVE this exercise!!! Very inspiring ❤ The results were lovely.
This was also a good reminder of how scary things were just a short time ago.

Love this idea. I often feel I can't paint randomly because I will be wasting but this will help loosen me up and make paintings!

Beautiful art! Thank you for generously sharing it with us!

Great way to let go & give up control. I liked your tip about painting with your eyes closed. I’m definitely going to try this out very soon!

[Seattleintherain]

Thank you for confirming to me that the feelings I have can be expressed in paint. I’ve watched a thousand YouTube videos of contrived “abstract” paintings that feel, to me, to be hackneyed and redundant and totally without originality. I m happy to see expression that seems to be without “instruction” of rules or commercial acceptance. You seem to express yourself from your soul. I want to have the freeness and spontaneity you seem to have in your creations. I have “liked”, I have subscribed, and I want to learn what allows you to be so free in your expressions.

[lynnewolfe]

This is gorgeous. I'm gobsmacked.

Thank you Clair for opening my eyes to a new perspective on creating art. I was feeling bored and in a rut with my art. I tried this and had such fun and created 6 amazing pieces of art. I ordered more paper and can’t wait for it to arrive so I can create art again in a totally different pallet.

[lesliebean]

This is the most valuable information I’ve heard in regards to painting. Thank you so much for helping me break through my mental blocks, and overthinking! The end results are as “perfect” as could be. So beautiful! I’d love them hanging on my wall. 😊

[kathleenelaine]

So grateful I found you today! Glad this was the 1st video I watched. 😍
