Abstract Art Painting Technique Discussion Post Four.

Q: What you are adding to the paint that is so easy to work with?

A: For the most part I add only water and use high quality acrylic paint.

Q: Wow. Seriously, wow. Your talent is amazing and I am in awe of how easy you make it appear. You've also inspired me to try my own hand at abstract painting--though I doubt I will ever be anywhere near as good as you are.

A: Thank you so much for your nice comments!

Q: Thanks for sharing your work, do you let the paint dry before you put the next color on?

A: Usually I like to work on fresh paint, but sometimes I would let it dry before applying second or third coat.

Q: Nice video lesson and great work. I'm just wondering, what's the clear coat that you brush on the canvas before applying paint?

A: Sometimes I cover the canvas with white acrylic paint before I start painting with color. Thank you for asking!

Q: How do you make the acrylics look so thin? When I paint with a brush every stroke is thick and wide. What is your technique?

A: I simply add plenty of water. Thank you for asking.

Q: Your really good at what you do. I really like your use of bold plain colors and the way you work ur magic on the canvas.

A: thank you so much for your comments!

Q: Wow, Peter that was probably the best 8 minutes I spent all day! I just had a question about your process, do you plan your paintings ahead of time by sketching them or just thinking about them or do you just go with the flow?

A: Thank you for asking, usually I just go with the flow. Sometimes it does not turn out the way I want it, however it is still a learning process :)

Q: Is the sponge dry or a little bit moist? are you using different sponges for different color areas, or use the same and let the previous colors (already on the sponge) blend in?

A: I alternate when to use wet, dry or painted sponge. Thank you for asking!

Q: Hello Peter, I haven't painted in so long that , not that I started again I am lost. I don't know where to start, so if you would be able to answer some questions for me I would really appreciate it a lot. What kind of canvas do you use? When you start painting , do you actually have an idea in mind ? Or is whatever you feel at the moment? Also is there a specific brand of acrylics that you use? Thank you in advance, Andrada

A: Thank you for your question Andrada! I use 1.5 inch gallery style stretched and primed cotton canvas. When I start creating abstract painting I have a blurry subject in mind which I transform into a abstract art. And I prefer to use Liquitex paints due to their unique qualities.
