Let's paint some abstract art inspired by this 👈 drawing onto this 👉 canvas (Conny for scale)

First I am priming the canvas with a mix of Gesso and texture paste, and I am using palette knives and old brushes for this because I don't want the surface to be smooth at all.

:3

Once this stuff is dry, the surface feels almost like sandpaper

Next up is the base color layer. For this I am using my trusted acrylic primary colors. They mix cleanly and allow me to get every color I want.

Oh it already looks so cool? I am just getting started though 😳

Now I am drawing circles

...a lot of circles

I am painting the space between the circles with a thinned-down mix of Graphite Grey and Mars Black (also called Iron Oxide Black). Mars Black is a heavily granulating pigment and creates a very interesting texture.

Oh now one can already see where it is going 😯

Last and most fun part is covering all the circles with oil paint. I start in the top left edge with all the violets and purples.

I'm having so much fun painting this, I mean look at them colors 🤤

I want all my brush strokes to be super visible, so I am using a synthetic bristle brush and mix impasto medium into the paint.

Top ~third is done, so I'll need at least 4 more days to finish it.

It is BLUE time 💙 💙 💙

Me when ultramarine: 😍 but with blue hearts
Me when cobalt blue: 😍 but with blue hearts
Me when phthalo blue: 😍 but with blue hearts
blue 🥺

Cobalt Turquoise Light is the most beautiful color ever nobody can convince me otherwise

It is coming along

Let's greeeeeeeeeen

Some oil paint is transparent and quite dark straight from the tube, so I need to add white to it. For this I use Tinting white because it does not overpower the color and make it look chalky like Titanium white can do.
