Caren shows us a great swipe of a beach and ocean abstract in this video. I love her swipe technique, she’s very delicate and yet very deliberate with her swipes and maniupulates the color well to get the look she wants.
Silicone oil is an essential in this technique and many painters love the treadmill oil. You can find it in here.
After being told in high school that she was so bad at art that she should switch to another subject, Deby didn’t paint again for 35 years. Then a stroke released a new wave of creativity and she began exploring with dot painting, abstract and eventually acrylic pouring, and at last the joy of working with color returned. You don’t need ‘talent’ to be an acrylic pouring artist – just enthusiasm, some basic instruction, and a willingness to try, fail and try again. Paint along with her and learn from her many mistakes, and you’ll soon make great art together.
