  • I imagine you plan out the painting before diving into the full size version. I always have trouble coming up with ideas for abstract paintings. I usually just have to mess around with the paint until an idea comes to me. How do you come up with your ideas? Do you sketch them, do a small painting, oil pastels?

  • @plark15 Hello! I never sketch first. Sometimes when I go to sleep I lay in bed with my eyes closed and imagine painting a picture. My best ideas happen this way. I test things in my mind first. Most times I look at the canvas and have a vision. Sometimes I just start painting and it paints itself. Check out my etsy site at: etsy.com/shop/skyetaylorgaller­ies I paint whatever my vision is. Right now I'm working on a painting with cows and country settings. This is where I'm at today.

  • what liqued did you use while painting

  • @Griekseboertjieful I use Liquidtex Gloss Medium. It extends the paint without losing pigmentation. Also its a great paint extender and ads depth. Thanks for asking.

  • Had a determined fly in the video. It was buzzing me while I was painting and driving me nuts. I guess you could say I was trying to get the bugs out of my work! LOL

  • i gotta question mann,what typess of like canvas do you useee?!

  • @NLGBasedBoy I like the Premier Canvas 1-1/2 thick from .Dick Blick.
