Video : Learn how to create a multicolored painting

In this video, I create an abstract painting

on a panoramic stretcher. A panoramic picture is created with a full-length frame.

In this painting, this painting class, I work in layers. To do this, I use a technique some people call “glazing”, allowing different layers of transparent paint to be applied.

The different stages in creating a painting

Step 1: Creating the first layer

I lay out the canvas and cover it with white acrylic paint. Then I create brown and blue shapes. The whole thing forms the first layer of my painting.

Step 2: Drying

I force the first coat to dry (slightly) using my famous heat gun 😉

Step 3: Color!

Once my first coat is completely dry, I decide to apply a very light coat of yellow to the right-hand side of the painting. I use very little paint to achieve the desired effect.

Step 4: More color!

As for step 3, I use the same process to apply different colors, such as purple. The light purplish hues perfectly match the blue of the first coat of paint. This creates a striking effect.

Step 5: Matching shades

Little by little, I join the parts of the picture and create a gradient between them.

Step 6: Multiple layers

I keep adding different layers of paint until I get the desired effect.

Step 7: The finishing touch!

I decided to create more contrast and depth by applying dynamic shapes with a painting knife.
