Abstract Painting Demo: How you can improve any painting

In today's video, I'm really excited to be chatting with you because I've got a fantastic tip to share that can seriously elevate your paintings: contrast! It's amazing how just a little bit of contrast can completely transform the look and feel of any artwork. So join me as I show you how I'm incorporating contrast into some paintings I've been working on lately. Trust me, you don't want to miss this!

Each week, I share tips, tricks, advice, and inspiration to help you take your art to the next level.

Love watching you add and cover and the way you talk about your process! It’s fascinating to watch the changes the painting goes through.

YOU HAVE JUST TAUGHT ME MORE IN THIS VIDEO THAN I DON'T KNOW WHEN! The contrast, too much the same marks or "bitty" as you put it, contrast colors, warm and cold, etc etc etc. I have a couple paintings I can't figure out and now i think i can maybe try something using your advice. Thanks so much!

"Nothing is sacred." You really put it out there. Wow, So much to learn. Amazing stuff. Thank you

[richrogers]

Omg “bitty”, exactly, it was like a bullet to my brain, that is why that one over there in the corner starring back at me isn’t working! Contrast with balance and scale, yes. Your video actually helped me. Thank you.

I love your demos... you are so BRAVE! I am trying really hard to be braver!

[nancyglascock]

I love this now, but I loved it at different stages too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts…so helpful and especially for me as you talked about the bitty parts. I can so relate!

As always, Louise, you have come along just when I needed you. You and your work are just wonderful in my humble opinion. Haha. I'm a fan for sure. Too interesting all over is exactly what I'm struggling with. Thank you again for reminding me I'm not alone in the struggle.

It was great watching and listening to you think out loud. Much more intentional than i thought. There were several points where i wanted you to leave it. I loved the bright orange and would have left that in. However, i realized, as you continued, that my eyes would disregard the rest of the painting and go to the orange. So i learned a lot about the evolution of the process.

[EricaFraaije]

Louise, you are getting better and better, you come straight to the point!

Merci beaucoup pour tous vos partages. J'ai enfin compris ce qui ne me plaisait pas dans certaines de mes peintures : le manque de contraste et trop de petites choses. Encore un grand merci. J'adore vos peintures ❤

[dottieeischen]

You explained that so well and it really helped to see you painting and explaining! Thank you

[merrylcool]

Thank you for the reminder of looking to contrast in our work. I love watching you actually do/paint what you are teaching. It sticks in my mind that way. Thank you always for these instructional videos, Louise!

[kateveneroso]

Love watching you work your magic. Never disappointed in your paintings and I always come away with a new idea or two. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[lorraineerickson]

Thank you. I’m learning a lot from you I.e. contrasts. How vital they are to a painting.

[DianneQuan]

My biggest challenge atm is to keep playing and not get attached to any of it too early.
