Simple Abstract Charcoal and Acrylic Painting Technique
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This exercise is almost to simple. Everyone can do this. It is a layered painting using pencil drawing, abstract charcoal, a charcoal and acrylic painting and in a way a little bit of template painting. You can switch layers so make a painting over charcoal drawing or do it the other way around. Anyway, this simple abstract charcoal and acrylic painting technique is very interesting and fun to do. Just grab your paint and make one yourself.

Love what your students did in the second exercise! Especially the 2 faces!
Thanks, Enrica. Yes, it's always amazing when they go freewheeling around the exercises. Albert
Thanks for featuring Dan Tirels, he's one of my favorite artists on RUclips. I learned a lot from him and gained a lot of inspiration as well. You make great art and presentations Albert. I appreciate all you do to keep us inspired.
Thanks Jarlsoars, yes he's great. So versatile. And I also love the simplicity of using just a few items.
Albert
So cool that Dan allowed this partnership. Both of you are great teachers. Thank you.
Thanks Kathy, yes he's a wonderful guy. Albert
I’m a huge fan of Dan Tirels! Thanks for sharing this! 🙂
Thanks, Julie. I love his artwork as well. Albert
I enjoy watching & learning from all your great videos! Thank you to Dan for agreeing to this awesome demonstration of his art!
Thanks, Karen. Indeed his way of making art is simple and great, at the same time. Love it, Albert
All your videos are so inspirational! They open up endless possibilities! Thank you so much for the time you invest in making these videos & all the information on the artists your featuring! Like you say “AMAZING!” 😃
Thanks, Karen. A lot of the video ideas are lessons for mg local painting course. After a few years I thought of turning them into a video as well, so more people could enjoy painting like this. It works, as you notice. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings it sure does! Thank you, your channel is “Wonderful.” A pure pleasure! I also appreciate seeing the students Art. Just can’t say enough good things about your channel! Best wishes😄
I loved how mine turned out + that you introduced me to another amazing RUclipsr who focuses on abstract art, Thank you!
Good to know your artwork turned out nice, Mario. And Dan's channel is a treasure box. Enjoy, Albert
The painting at 11:37 is stunning. What beautiful lines and movement between the red and black. It reminds me of jazz music. 11:37
Thanks, Steven. It's a beautiful technique to create. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings I’d like to try this charcoal technique. Does the finished art need to be sprayed with a fixative to prevent smudging?
Good question, Steven. I didn't. But it sounds like a good idea. It also depends on what you will do with it. In case you frame it, you don't touch it anymore. In case you just want the experience and don't want to hang onto what you make, you don't. Check the website or channel of Dan Tirels, the inspiration source. He will probably have the best answer. Hope this helps. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings Thank you! I’ll check out Dan’s channel. As always, I appreciate your videos and for stimulating my creative mind with ideas!
It's always a pleasure to hear, Steven.
You are just fantastic. So many brilliant andf imaginative ideas and so well presented. Thank you very much.
Hi MargaretX, thanks. It's just fun to share my ideas and in this case Dan's idea. Albert
love love!!!!!! you are so inspiring
Hi Beachgrammie, thanks. Now it's your turn. Enjoy, Albert
That's a great exercise. You are able to explain steps very well, and this helps beginners. I would love to see more black and white and color abstracts. Thanks
Thanks Jai, compliments are always nice. Check out my channel there are a number of them more in black&white. Enjoy making yours. Albert
I tried this Albert and it was really relaxing to do it. I simply love doing it. I started with 16 boxes and then I did another with 20 boxes... Its fantastic! Thanks again for giving us inspiration!
Hi Nadia, thanks for sharing this.. I had the same experience. It also is simple to do and the result looks great. Bye, Albert
I like the big yellow ones best!!! I subscribe to Dan Tirels and learned how to do MonoPrints. Love his work, and this video has now got me wanting to do some painting with charcoal, thank you Albert, now I shall subscribe to your site.
Hi Maggie, thanks. Yes, Dan Tirels is great, I love his creativity. Glad you like to paint as well. Plenty of ideas here for you. Albert
I love Dan!!! I've done quite a few monoprints that I have given away.
Hi Rebecca, yes I love him and his work too. What i find so fascinating is that he has a very narrow field of options, or he limited himself and he shows so much creativity on that little spot. Marvelous.
Thanks for sharing this!
One of my most favourite videos that you have put out. .Thank you.
Hi Amelia, thanks. Yes, it's simple and intriguing at the same time. I love it too. Bye, Albert
You are such a great teacher! Every time I watch your videos I get the desire to go and play with paint. This exercise: Simple abstract etc. is very freeing and inspiring. I suggest, if I may, to use black oil pastel instead of charcoal just to avoid the mess and create a r
'resist' effect. Thank you again :)
Hi Franca, comments like this one are always a pleasure to read! Thanks. And thanks for your suggestion, always interesting to hear and perhaps for other viewers to read as well. And if or when you feel the desire to paint, I would suggest jump right in. Bye, Albert
You are so inspiring!
Hi Abstract world, thanks. Try it yourself, it's fun to do. Bye, Albert
Wat simpel en gaaf! 💯
Hallo Liesbeth, bedankt. Ga je het ook een keer proberen? Albert
Imperfect Paintings ja wil ik morgen gaan doen. Leuk om al die kunstenaars te ontdekken.
Albert love this exercise how do you make your templates so neat how do you do the cutting out?
Hi TJ, it's a matter of measuring and calculating. So how many squares do you want, how much space in between and for the borders. Than draw all the squares on one sheet, cut them out, a sharp hobby knife and a metal ruler worked best for me. When finished you have a template with holes to put over a second sheet and draw the squares. Keep the template for later use. I believe I made three or four different ones for my painting course so they could choose and create different artwork. Because I'm not good with numbers I messed up once or twice 😉 Take an hour to make one. Hope this helps. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings yes it was the cutting bit I did not understand
Do you now understand?
@@ImperfectPaintings yes thanks a hobby knife to cut it
🖤
Hi jiminbbam z, thanks. Have a nice day! Bye, Albert
I have been trying this on canvas. It isn't working as well for me
Hi Schmotzy, sorry to hear. What do you think doesn't go well? Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings the acrylic is mixing with the charcoal and making mud. I just started another one on watercolor paper and it is going bettet.
Thanks for coming back on this. I'm happy to hear you try other options, it always leads to other outcomes and sometimes to better ones (or not). Enjoy playing. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings have you ever used varnish and or gel medium on layers before you started the next layer?
@@ImperfectPaintings hey could you try this same exercise using oil pastel and thin the oil pastels with turpentine?
Can you do some more of cy twombly 😎😎
Hi Rain Cloud, I 'm already looking in to that. But it can take a some weeks. In the meantime just enjoy the other videos perhaps? Bye, Albert
