A note:
I'm a bit of a newbie with filming tutorials, so bear with me! The film is a bit fuzzy/out of focus at points and the color sometimes off. I'm working on this and hopefully the next one will be better! Always learning!

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for life". I have read numerous books and watched numerous "tutorial" videos on the subject of abstract painting. Your 29 min video is the most well thought out and comprehensive instruction I have witnessed to date. Absolutely brilliant! and I offer you my sincere gratitude for sharing.
veercoo Thank you so much!
I totally agree with stockand coin!!! Thank you!
Great comment! Totally agree.
I AGREE.....thank you!
I am an artist who now suffers with a very debilitating essential tremor. This form of art is absolutely perfect for me. Thank you so much for the tutorial Ginger, I have now paid for your online course too. I feel I have found my creative home from here on in.
You are an amazing artist and generous with sharing your knowledge with those of us who are evolving.. thank you.
I learned so much. Please continue. 🌹
Thank you so much! Happy painting!
I too love the metallics and the liquid paints....this is Beautiful...Thank you so much : )
Thank you so much for this very interesting and well done tutorial! We want more! 😁👍👌
Your paintings are so beautiful, calming, and elegant. I have limited experience with oils, and have unfortunately not learned to appreciate abstract painting. Your superb videos have changed this. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques so generously.
I appreciate that so much. Thanks for watching and your comment. I hope you enjoy doing some abstracts :)
I really appreciate your tips & tricks !! Lovely pieces 🖼 ! I admire your creativity! And love your paintings ! Thank you.
🙏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you 😊
I just found your channel. Awesome paintings, it gives me inspiration to try to paint my self. Thank you for taking the time to shear it with us!
Thank you very much for your very detailed video! It was sooo amazing to see your painting come to life. Loved it!! 😁😀😀😀
I love the way you put that - thanks so much for watching and comments!
this IS a decent tutorial, and even though i too wished it was in focus, there is no purpose here to snapping at each other in the comments - gratitude goes a long way and inspires those posting these videos to keep on helping - no self righteousness intended, but the only exclamation point should be a thank you for the content and the effort regardless of the focus....
So pretty. How do you hand the boards?
Hi! Usually frame them. 😊 Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this video. The painting is beautiful! Please make more full length tutorials like this.
Melissa Lloyd-Fillier I truly appreciate that! I'm working on more 😊
Thanks for this excellent tutorial. I’m wondering why you did apply a coat of modeling paste+ water + titanium white before applying a modeling paste? Thanks
Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more abstract paintings.
Thank you! There isn’t many videos out there with so much detail! I’m going to try it. I have gloss medium. Could I use that in place of the glazing?
THANK YOU!!! This video was a perfect game changer for this baby artist! Is there a video I am not seeing where you lay down the bronze on top? Very grateful that you shared this!!! I just found part 2. Thank you!!
🤗🤗
GREAT tips; I wish your camera had been in focus. Had to watch a few times to get the names of the products you used. :/
KR does a good job of showing people the names and brands of the products she's using at the beginning of the video. Also, she lists out the materials, click "Show More" at the bottom of the section just before comments.
Hehehe
Thank you so much, this was so helpful to me, and has giveing me some good ideas, Mairead Harkin in Dublin in Ireland
Thanks, Mairead! Happy painting!
Soy de Chile y encuentro maravilloso tu trabajo. Felicitaciones!!!!
I love your work and I decided to make my larger paints from hardboard, it's much more affordable for beginners. I wanted to know, how you frame your larger paintings on hardboard. Warm greetings from Canada!
Do you ever paint larger size paintings using hardboard. How do you frame the backs of them? You did not reply last time. I am 65, so all my are is for fun, not to sell.
Sorry if I'm slow to reply - some of my comments go to spam and I don't find them until later (??) You can add hanging hardware to the back of a board to hang. You can also build a "cradle" around the board to give it a deep, gallery-wrapped look.
@@AbstractARTpaintings thank you so much!
Thanking you 💚💚💚
I’m super new to painting. As in It’s pretty safe to say I’ve never done it. I do draw, and do other artistic things however. I went to paint a large canvas of a g2 my little pony. I want the texture to highlight certain parts of the pony. Would I draw it with pencil, add the texture medium in the places where I want, and then paint? Or can I get coloured texture medium stuff?
Hi - best to start with application of texture in areas and then paint over.
Very good
Awesome thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
Hermoso trabajo, gracias por enseñarnos
What if you dont have any modeling paste, can I substitute ?
Yes, any plaster-type medium or heavy gel texture is fine 🙂
I have never used a large flat brush. Where can I find them?
Hi- you can find them at amazon or Michaels, etc. They are cheap! :)
@@AbstractARTpaintings Thank you.
Exactly
I would also love to see a tutorial about how to make a painting with crackle paste! Just bought a jar of that, and am not quite sure what to do with it 😁
I will do that -- love working with crackle paste!
Starting a painting using all professional products and man made brushes. My colors are good and have applied second coat of color but brush marks are present. I would prefer not to see them. Could it be I’m not using enough paint in my glaze.?
Thanks so much for sharing!!
thank you very much
Great video! Super talented! But can barely watch it because its so blurry!
Did you clean the brush between the two hours texturing?
@Abstract Art can I use gesso instead modelling paste
Yes. The modeling paste gives a much harder smooth surface but a few coats of Gesso is good!
Could a gel gloss/Matte medium be used instead of the glazing liquid ?
Yes, it will just be thicker, possibly leave brushstrokes vs. a flat coat
@@AbstractARTpaintings thank you for confirming 😊
I’m going to thin it out with some water as you do with your wash /base paint layers, although I will add a little more compared to the ratio you’ve recommended with glazing liquid. I’ve learned so much watching and rewatching your tutorials. I look forward to seeing more 🥰
Do you sell your paintings when you use acrylic board or did you just use this for the demo? It seems that a hard surface is necessary for modeling paste, right? If you sell the acrylic board painting, would you sell it with a frame or as is? Thanks.
Patricia Roshaven - No, you do not need a hard surface for modeling paste. (You could have easily Googled that yourself.) And what do you care if she sells her art on acrylic board, canvas, or plywood? When you create your own paintings, you can sell yours on anything you'd care to. As for your framing question, you can Google that, too.
Cheryl - really? Are you seriously being that much of a jerk?
Craig Osborne - Gosh, Craig, apparently so. LOL
FOCUS!!!!!!!! If you are going to do videos, the number one thing is to focus your camera.
Ziggie Zag. Sorry, it is blurry. My camera person (aka my daughter) is not a pro (yet)!
Thought I did, but unfortunately guess I was wrong...
I didn't think it was all that blurry plus I was able to see what she used which is more important to me than anything else. I enjoyed the video and it gave great tips. Keep making your videos just the way you are, for the beginners your not trying to replicate the same exact painting... she's just explaining the process and from there you should use your own colors. Or try to replicate what shes doing but trust me it will look different. Everyone has their own style and I feel she got her message across. I subscribed and liked even though I prefer watercolors I do have a large range of winsor and newton professional acrylics with Golden matte gel and Utrecht modeling paste and various gloss/satin/matte finishes from Liqutex.
Eric Peacock Thanks, Eric! I appreciate the comments 😊
Ziggie Zag - PUNCTUATION! If you are going to write comments, the number one thing is to use only one exclamation point. (Unless you're 5. Five-year-olds use a lot of exclamation points.)
Can I use a stretched canvas instead of a board?
Of course! This can be done on any size and substrate!
Never mind 🤦♀️ I l’ll watch b4, asking questions 🤪
Hi,
I think I'm confused. What are you putting on on the four minute mark when speaking of the smooth finish, the thinned modeling paste? Will regular paint not have the same effect?
Thank you!
Thanks for watching and the question: Yes and no. Multiple coats will smooth away all tooth of the canvas; this works faster (less work!) Not a must; just an option for ultra-smooth surface.
@@AbstractARTpaintings Thank you!
Beautiful
Where do you buy your frames?
Awesome😃
I thought that modeling paste was supposed to have a texture to it; don't understand why all the smoothing out of it. Why not just gesso for the first layer?
Hi - thanks for watching. Yes, a coat of Gesso or a couple coats of white is a good first layer. I wanted to remove all tooth from the canvas and make it super smooth so I did this. Not required; just an option.
painting55 - Didn't you hear what she said? Didn't you see what she did? Did you even actually watch the video? 'I like some spots thicker, and some thinner ... you can lay it down in a stair step pattern; not always perfect, etc., etc.' Didn't you see how the whole canvas was far from "all smoothed out"? Nobody likes a Troll.
What did you use as the 1st finish to the canvas?
those mediums are super expensive, I use fast drying spackle it gives thick texture and you can add color before or after...it rocks. Just a tip for the tip giver :D
Awesome - is it archival? Thanks for sharing :)
I love Golden products, I prefer winsor and newton professional acrylics but for gels and modeling paste ill switch between Utrecht and Liquitex... also Liquitex has good gel mediums along with good pouring mediums and finishes. Usually ill purchase from dickblick.com or Utrecht.com. unless Micheals has the 60% off any single item. That's when ill get the good expensive stuff :) some dont realize the money artist (be it beginner or master artist) spend in order to create such fine works of art... heck just 25 small sheets of real Gold leaf from johnnealbook.com costs 60 bucks. People think I'm crazy when i save scraps of gold leaf lol but I'm not using speedball here and even the gesso I use for raised gilding isnt cheap. Jerry Tesslers line of raised and flat adhesive, or my all time favorite instacoil. Please keep the videos coming as it gives great inspiration to those of us who need it. Especially when i did portraits and now im getting into abstract.
Me un ha encantaría aprender hacer mis propias tecturas
lovely instructional video - wish it would have been in focus
🙏
Where is part two
Can i use toothpaste instead ?
😛not really! But for experimenting -non-archival- go for it!
Where is the second party?
You have Texture medium in your supply list, but several times you mention modeling paste in the video. I don’t see modeling paste listed on your list. Is that because modeling paste and texture medium the same thing?
L Huff Yes, modeling paste is texture medium 😉
Two questions.
- Could I use Emulsion paint?
- If I use emulsion paint, can I roll the canvas for transportation purposes, or will it all crack? The same question if I used Acrylic paint too.
I would highly suggest NOT rolling any textured canvas due to cracking. Been there, done that 😛
@@AbstractARTpaintings Thank you. Going to be tricky transporting my artwork. I want to make huge pieces :(
Not really. Gesso tends to settle/smooth out. 🙂
Always so confused between MODELING paste and MOLDING paste. Can you clarify? You used MODELING paste throughout, right? Why?
Hi Betsy -- I used modeling paste (BLICK brand). You can use heavy gel or really any substance that lets you build up texture. Have fun creating!
nice explanation just wish it was in focus
Where’s part 2?
Congratulations
👏😃❤
You sound like Sigourney Weaver
Très beau Pourquoi pas de traduction écrit en français merci t
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
would be nice if it was in focus
Minuto 18:52 empieza a pintar,de nada.
Que lastima que no lo draduzcan en español
So interesting but pity so far the whole thing is out of focus (7 mins in so far).
are you aware that your video is all blurred?!
Compleyely... only after the fact 🙄 Newer ones are better!
@@AbstractARTpaintings 😂👍 be sure i will watch them.. i have to... (well, i need to learn new texturing tecnics for my projects)
Picture a little blurred
Yes, these early vids were blurry. Sorry! I had shot the whole thing before I realized it. My newer tutorials are a bit better. Thank you for watching. Happy painting!
the video is blurry
Yes - my first video and didn't understand the camera very well - sorry, they get better!
If only it wasn’t so out of focus
I could not see what paint your using as this was all out of focus which not detracting from the finished artwork which is awesome making a video as instruction with no sound and poor focus looses the point of the video
Omg it’s so blurry
Out of focus
Why do you add water to your mediums? This breaks down the molecular make up of the mediums and paints. Your paintings won’t last as long by adding the water. Try a polymer or another type of extender instead.
Hi Ana - I live in very dry climate and find just a bit of water helps keep things fluid, but you are correct. Too much water will break paint/mediums down and cause a mess (been there, done that!). Thanks for watching!
Ana Contreras - Next time, do your research before you ask a question in a rude and arrogant way. According to several acrylic paint manufacturers, depending on their brand, anywhere from 30% to under 50% water can be added without affecting the polymers and the integrity of the painting. Geeze, the trolls are out tonight.
Thank you for your response. Dry climates and paint are tricky.
Thank you for sharing your talent!!!!!!
Cheryl64014 operative words “depending on the brand....” 🙄
Yeah, Ana Contreras, I know! Those were my words. That's why I suggested that you do your homework next time _before_ you ask the artist rude questions. :/
I really wanted to see this, but focus is horrendously inexcusable, if you are going to do it, do it right. Poof 💨💨
Ziggie Zag is pissed because she only has ten subscribers and yellow teeth. : ). Focuse on that mouth Zag.
Abstraddic 😂LOL
En realidad no me gusto no le entendi nada
Плохая контрастность! (((
Expensive paint ........ mix small amounts 😂😂😂😂😂
Such poor quality recording
Very fuzzy and out of focus. Wasted a lot of product. ☹
