Watch how I create a vibrant abstract painting by layering rich blues and greens with a paddle brush then using a palette knife and other tools for adding texture.

I start this piece by applying a light base coat before building up the depth with greens and dark blue tones. This process is all about embracing energetic brushwork and finding the right balance of colors to create a cohesive, abstract painting. If you enjoy experimenting with different paint application techniques, this demonstration shows how I build up layers to achieve a finished look that feels both vibrant and grounded.

By focusing on the interaction between my palette knife, Brayer, acrylic markers and other tools, I am able to generate movement across the surface. This approach is perfect for anyone looking to add more energy to their own abstract art practice. Let me know in the comments - do you prefer working with a limited color palette or do you like to mix as many shades as possible?
