In this video I will be taking you through an abstract painting that I worked on in my sketchbook.  I will be detailing how I created different marks using a variety of different tools and media.  In addition, I will explain how I integrated the marks into the painting so that they were harmonious to the piece.  This is an encouraging video where a fun approach to creating an abstract painting by beginning with mark making is shown.  It is appropriate for beginner artists and other artists who want to have more fun and looseness in their work.  Join me and paint along as I make a dynamic, mixed media abstract!
