  • PAINTING ABSTRACT LANDSCAPES: LEARNING FROM DIEBENKORN / How do you get inspired by an artist or a painting without copying their work? In this abstract painting tutorial I show you step-by-step how I create a collage from a painting, actually two paintings, by one of my favorite artists, Richard Diebenkorn, a leading figure in abstract expressionism. The focus is primarily on abstract painting composition.

    Whenever I feel blocked or defeated, I can count on you to get me back on my feet. Five minutes ago I was feeling blaah. No more. Your suggestions and demo are just what I needed to get back in the saddle. Thank you so much for sharing these great ideas.

    Hi Adele….You had me at Richard Diebenkorn. A few days ago I did a little ocean sketch at low tide and want to make a painting from it. This video is so helpful. It confirms that collage can help me get started. Being able to move and change elements around will help me plan. I have a difficult time getting started. We’ll see. Thank you for all of your videos. They’re wonderful.

    I so love your videos! You're a natural at teaching and you've given me many ideas to try. Most importantly, you've given me the courage to try to make art. Sounds silly, but a blank piece of paper or canvas intimidates me- or I should say, it USED TO intimidate me. Thank you so much!

    Adele, I am learning so much from watching you. I have fallen in love with the freedom of the abstract processes you teach. Normally my art is predictable, perhaps highly structured and I am enjoying the more intuitive intention. Your tutorials are wonderful. I have been a subscriber for some time but took a hiatus about 7 months ago. Did I miss joining a special class offering? Following you is a joy! Anne White

    @sm7610 4 года назад +1

    This was very helpful! It got me thinking how to use my left over paints for collage papers. I also realized how you can use other paintings for inspiration by just looking at the abstract shapes. While I watched the video, I was looking across the room at several of my paintings, and I saw them in a whole new light looking at just the abstract shapes and not the subjects.

    • @AdeleSypesteynStudio

    Today I finished a collage with little 2 dimensional things I saved because I like them. However, it became quite a challenge as I painted a zebra like background. After doing that, my delicate pieces seem to be over powered. So I integrated the black and whites with the collage pieces. I don’t like it much right now, but I’m done! Your method looks like fun, so I’ll try it your way next time. Thanks for showing and telling!

    @vickikaye2170 4 года назад +3

    That feels such an honest way to take inspiration from another artist, without in any way being derivative. In this case it was the compositional qualities that first struck you? I have a lot of off-cut mono prints but I hadn't really thought about using left over paint to make up random sheets of colour. Thank you!

    • @AdeleSypesteynStudio
      @AdeleSypesteynStudio  4 года назад +2

      It could be the composition or the colors or whatever it is you like in someone else’s work. You just start with an idea from them, then put the image away, and go on your own. 🌸

    Adele, thank you for the ideas. I really like how you organized your table and used the china marker. I’m glad you mentioned the size of the substrate you started with. You didn’t mention the blue tape, it looks that's a better border method than just drawing a penciled line border. QUESTION: will the finished piece fit a pre-cut mat and will it fit in a standard sized frame, so an expensive custom frame is unnecessary? Those beginning steps are so important when wanting to avoid custom mats and frames. I found out the hard way. And have items that are not framed bc of the expense. So, Do you have a chart or resource with the sizes of mat's inner and outer dimensions And a list of standard sized frames you can share? It would help a lot. Thank you! 🙏 😘💕

    Hi Adele,
    Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world! I love your spark and work. Theese collages are so beautiful that I want to do some. Would that be considered steeling of idea? Thanks!

    I'm making Collages, too. And I really enjoy watching your videos.
    But I do not dare to show it in public (=on youtube), due to copyright issues.

    Thanks for sharing your time and talent! I’m very new to painting and wondering about all of the colorful papers you used. Should I paint a variety of colors as a project to prepare for collage?

    • @AdeleSypesteynStudio

      I would definitely encourage you to spend some time doing some color mixing on different papers. And you could do some with solid colors and some with patterns. It is so much fun doing color mixing. 🌸

    Hello Adele, I am learning so much from your videos, I am itching to get started when I’m watching, you inspire me. I have a question. Do you varnish your collage, I’m sure you will say no, but I can’t imagine how each piece will stick perfectly. Thanks Maggie x

    What is your base paper? Do you use gesso to prep your paper before painting?

    Hi Adele, thanks for the video it was great. May I ask why you tape your paper down? How do you neatly trim the edges if you do that? I was thinking that paper left not taped down would be easier to trim around the edges to get them straight? Cheers

    I have always been curious what customers have to say about being attracted to abstract art, do you hear much of that at shows etc? I love this process, makes it so much easier, thank you.

    • @AdeleSypesteynStudio
      @AdeleSypesteynStudio  Год назад

      Yes, I hear a lot from people when I attend shows, and just from comments on my content here on the internet. Most people who like abstract art just enjoy the "feel" of pieces or the way the colors play together, things like that. Just like me!

    Hi Adele, love watching your videos! When I'm stuck for ideas I will often look for a painting or image on Pinterest that I like composition of or colour palette and use this as a first stage in my painting and then as I gain inspiration the colours or composition totally change as I put my own self into the painting. I guess its a way of avoiding the big white canvas monster!

      I organize them by color first, then into sub groups. And I do plan on doing a video on just that very soon. Thanks for watching. 🌸
