  • Hey my friends!!!
    Today I'm going to take you through the layers of creating this abstract realism crow painting. This is a tutorial of sorts. I'm going to show you a whole bunch of techniques I use from creating texture to using squeegees, spray paint, acrylic inks, sponges, and palette knives and more.
    This painting plays with the idea of reality vs illusion. A cage vs freedom. Usually, it's only perception that decides what is real and what is not.
    I hope you enjoy the video and let me know what you think in the comments!!!

    About halfway through the video I realized my mouth was hanging open because there were so many intricate steps. I'm so happy you explained why you did each one. Your pieces are like complex musical compositions that can only be appreciated fully when you know how many and what kind of instruments are involved and how they fit together (I listen to Nightwish - symphonic metal - my statement makes so much more sense if you know their music). To see the piece being assembled makes it that much more exquisite. And I'm not using that word lightly - it is exquisite. ❤

      @@lydiabroderick867 Bored watching a masterpiece unfold!? I can't tell you how many times I have watched this video. I am mesmerized every single time!!! I share the deepest love for crows and ravens. .I just can't get enough of them. Please keep creating! For me so far, this is probably one of my most favorite pieces of artwork in the world. That is saying a lot! I buy art almost weekly. I wish this were on my wall. Pure joy! Thank you!

So amped up to find someone who is doing what I have had in my mind for a couple years now but couldn't even explain it to myself. Thanks so much for your interesting and teachable video.
