Color, texture, shape, line. Familiar words. When used in abstract painting, perhaps nuanced differently. Exploration and adventure. I'm all in!
Here's Virginia Cobb's suggestion for one way of starting an abstract painting. Now, where's my squeegee?

Perfect timing! I spent the morning watching other demos. Robert Joyner, for one... another loose goose. Virginia Cobb is a great follow-up. Now I think I'll get go throw some paint around.
This one is a winner. I love the bold strokes of color. Frame it and hang it!
So great. I am very excited to see your work here!! This abstract is flawless, and I hope you can do more, please.
Sam! Robert Joyner's videos are great and I love the music he chooses for the subject. Watching abstract art videos could become a black hole for me -- I fall into it and poof! an hour is gone!
Thanks, Nancy. This painting is drying dull and I have to figure out what to put on top to make it vibrant and shiny before I hang it. Do you have suggestions?
Thanks for your high praise, Casey! It takes a whole new way of thinking to paint abstractly and I am slowly making sense of it. More to come!
Thanks for the video ! To watch how it develops rather than hear an explaination offers so much more. And then to focus on the next step rather than try to imagine the completion. Wendell Mohr was the artist who gave the workshop I attended with the focus on Abstraction. Just had to hunt through my art notes.
Suzanne! Glad you enjoyed the video. I'll look up Wendell Mohr, too!
