Abstract Art Painting Techniques Discussion Third Post.

Q: Hi Peter, please allow me a small question. What do you use for the transition? foam? floss? cloth? If it's no secret I would be grateful for the advice. thank you thank you very much your big fan.

A: I like to use a variety of different tools and techniques for transitions. For the most part I prefer to use sponge since it leaves a nice soft color blending and transition. I also like to utilize other tools to contrast the soft transition like a spatula. Having variety in the abstract paintings does make a big difference at the end!

Q: Your paintings are always interesting and always beautiful! They are so fluid too!! where do you get your inspiration? I have a hard time with what do I want to create. What images, etc.

A: Thank you so much for your comments! When I observe the world around me I always try to ask myself how I would transform an object, colors etc... into an abstract painting :)

Q: Your work is amazing! I would like to know what are you using to get that water color look. you know when spill water on a piece of paper and everything starts to bleed. :/

A: I use high quality acrylic paint and water. Because of high pigmentation in the acrylic paint that I am using I am able to add enough water without loosing the intensity in color.

Q: Hello Peter, your creativity is very inspirational. I'm getting set to do my first painting and I am drawn to your abstract style and dramatic applications of color. I watched your Futuristic demonstration, and wanted to know if that was bubble wrap I saw you using at one point? Thank you and keep up the fantastic work! Jason, Toronto, Canada

A: Thank you Jason, yes I did use bubble rap at one point on that painting. That's what I love the most about creating abstract art is the creative approach to it! Good luck to you!

Q: I absolutely love the colors and the different techniques you use! I love how some of your work are rough and edgy while others are well blended and have a smooth flow. Where do you get your inspiration from? I recently just picked up a paint brush again after several years, and I seem to have a creative block, I feel stuck when I look at my blank canvas..

A: Thank you for your comments. When I create paintings I have moments where I do not get the desired result. I continue to work on the painting brainstorming ideas as I go along. As a result I get inspired by getting to the paint where the painting turns out more than what I could have wished for.



Q: hey pete...how do you blend so well w/ acrylics?? b/c they dry super fast.?

A: keep the paint moist by adding plenty of water (but not too much)

Q: Hi, Pete, I like your work very much. actually you're an inspiration for me. I'm watching all of your vids and i hope you'll provide some more.can you please tell me how long did it take you to make this painting?

A: I am glad that my art video lessons have inspired you. As far as how long it takes me to create an abstract painting, it depends on the painting size and subject matter. Usually not longer than one day.

Q: Thank you for showing some of your painting technique.

A: you most welcome!

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.
