 Welcome to another episode of the Art Sea Trio. We are working this month with this mood board from Mike Deacon. I really love the colors in the mood board. I've picked out some paints. There we go. These colors. I love the marks and the inspirational nature pics and I also was watching a... I think it was Instagram. It could have been a TikTok. I don't remember and the artist in question was doing an abstract technique that I've actually seen a variation of done before many many times by other people. If I can find the Instagram account I will link it down below. Anyway, we are going to try something similar on this page. You're going to need some paint, some pencils, some paint brushes, mark making tools, and some painters tape. So or washi tape I guess would work. Alright let's get started shall we? You know that was easy and yet fabulous. I can see doing this on a very large piece of paper with a series of these squares and then framing the whole thing like I could see it as an art piece. It's so cool. Okay so next as per usual I'm going to make some notes on this side and then I'll be back. So I found out who it was I saw and it was on Instagram and it's Monique Carr Artist and I will link her Instagram down below. It was a really fabulous video honestly. Very obviously very inspiring. I thought that was a really cool technique. It's a great technique to use to do an abstract. It's a great warm-up technique and I've been thinking more and more after doing a couple of Christmas presents lately. I need to develop a routine for myself for sort of warming up my artistic painting muscles and I probably need one that works both for acrylic and watercolor and this might just be it. So anyway if you enjoyed this video I hope you give it a like share and subscribe to my channel if you're new here. I do do artsy trio videos once a month with two other fabulous artists Mike Deacon and Bea Grubb. The links for their videos are in the video description so please check them out. Like share and subscribe over on their videos too. If you do something inspired by any of our videos and you want to share it somewhere on social media do tag us in the post. We do have a Facebook group for Artie Trio where you can have some discussions directly with us and do some sharing and all of that stuff. Get copies of the mood board. I will link that down below also. I would love if you join. If you have questions comments or concerns leave them down below and above that go out and make a painting mess. Have some fun and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys.
