Hello Loves !
This week, I wanted to do a quick video sharing my current favorite method when it comes to creating abstract painting: swiping. I need to put a disclaimer out there: I did not invent this but was inspired by Casey Kempter and Quinton Brunner in the Let It Flow group I belong to in Facebook.

One of the key to create a beautiful pour is the consistency of your paint. In this case, I added some silicone oil into the colors but left the white alone (just added some water to the acrylic paint to get said desired consistency). I bought mine at the auto section of our Walmart; you can find some at Home Depot or Amazon as well.
I did not share the mixing process because it can be long, therefore pretty boring to watch. BUT if you’re interested in that, please let me know in the comments so I can make it a separate video for you.

It is a really simple technique. If you try it, please share some pictures with me 🙂 There are so many possibilities with it..!

For this week’s {Painting in Motion} video, I wanted to try something new: use only one brand for the colors. Stretch the products and my creative muscles in the process. For this first one, I picked Lindy Stamp Gang (the only thing I did not use for this project, from their brand, is their embossing powders).

I am asking you: which brand would you like me to explore next ?

Enjoy the video:

I really love the texture created by the first layer of tissue paper. All these wrinkles make me SO happy 😀

Lindy Stamp gang has both shimmery products and what they call flat ones, that have just the color. It opens the possibilities depending on what you need for your project.

A few close-up photos:

Creating for this series, way out of my usual art, is a lot of fun. I usually paint for Colorful Chaos before an actual painting session, each is at least 3 different layers that need to fully dry before adding the next one, so it can’t be done in one sitting.

I have an obsession with symbols *just see my Pinterest board dedicated to them and you’ll understand what I mean by obsessed*, and these three new paintings in the series have a few more or less obviously added. Because it makes me happy, because it helps with the purpose of positive energy.

They were created on 6×8” wood panel, cradled (so ready to hang if you want).

Layers layers layers, and lots of texture as well, is what you’ll discover 🙂

I invite you to go to my shop to see more pictures of each.

What is Greatness to you ? I’d love to know.

Find it right here.

«Transition» may be my favorite of the entire series, to day. There is a very special energy that comes from it. It will add this je ne sais quoi to any space you would embellish with it, trust me.

Find it right here.

«Guided» is the perfect reminder that you are watched upon, even when you feel like nobody listens to you, that nobody HEARS you. Don’t stop believing, knowing.

Find it right here.

You can, of course, also find the rest of Colorful Chaos that has not found a home yet. You won’t be disappointed.

PSS: some products, such as pillow covers, clocks, mugs… from these paintings are now available in my Society6 shop. Go check it out, you will love the possibilities !
