About the abstract artist Peter Drantsin

Hi my name is 1stdrawingandpaint I am a modern abstract artist. My career as a professional artist started after I have finished my active duty in the Marine Corps at the end of 2005 year. and I have painted and sold my artworks ever since up until today. My background as an artist has began since my early childhood watching my mother create her paintings at home. I was taught to appreciate art and highly admired my mother's work. I wanted to push off the traditional way of painting using brush, pallet knife and canvas and took a slightly different approach using all kinds of different tools, techniques and material in creating my abstract paintings. When creating my paintings I always try to stick to basic principles and try to keep it simple. In my abstract art presentation videos you will be able to watch me in progress crating paintings from nothing. Each and every one of my paintings are one hundred percent unique and original. The biggest trick to make the paintings elegant is to remember very important idea that "Less is More". The less you try to think about every single details, the more you will appreciate your artwork because it will have a key ingredient which is free flowing and natural rhythm. All of my paintings are created with high quality acrylic paint on stretched canvas. I do use other acrylic mediums to achieve different effects, but for the most part I stick to the minimum. To be completely honest with you, not all of my paintings come out the way I want them, but the more I paint the more proficient I get in my technique and the final result. Do not be afraid in making mistakes, even when your painting look great and you feel that you can make it better but unsure if it is worth to try to make it better - my advice is go for it. As I learned it myself, you will always get a good experience and build upon your technique as a result even if the painting will have to be covered by paint again. You will eventually get to the point where all you do is choose what colors you want to use in the painting and start applying paint to the canvas and watch your hands and soul take control over the process in creating another masterpiece. It is all about having fun in the creative process and sharing it with the World! I want to thank you so much for taking your time today to watch this video introduction and I truly hope that you will get motivated to watch some more and start creating art!
