 Hey guys, welcome to another Monday with Deco Art. We are gonna work on this little canvas I have. It's already got some random pieces of paper and paint and stuff on it. And we are going to work on creating a little abstract piece of canvas, piece of art on this canvas. Inspired by my friend Donna Mulholland. I will try to remember to look up her website address and put it in the link below so you guys can look. She's a really great artist, does lots of different kinds of work right now. She's doing abstract kind of things and today she posted something that had squares and I thought was really inspiring. So we're gonna work on something here. We're gonna use a variety of Deco Art projects including some of their collage papers, Deco Page Glue, and the Deco Art Traditions Artist Acrylic Paints. I've got a few colors out to start. I've got Dahlia Ride Yellow, Quedacridone Violet, and Aqua Marine. Don't you just love this color? I think it's my favorite Deco Art color. And then I've got some of their Dark Pains Gray in a fine liner bottle here. So we're gonna play with this and let's see what we can come up with. I also have here a fun little thing. Does any of you recognize what these are? Yeah, these are those dried like blobs that you get like under the lids of your paint when you've spilled paint and it dries around here and it dries in a blob if you can peel it right off. And I've been saving them lately because I thought it might be fun at some point to put them here on the canvas and just see what happens. So we may use some of these too. Alright, I'm gonna speed forward through the process and I'll be right back. Okay, I like it. So don't forget when you're doing a little abstract like this, just keep playing and layering your marks, your papers, your paint, whatever onto your canvas and just keep going until you have something that makes you happy. Nobody else has to get it but you. Remember that art should be about what expressing what's inside you and not about what pleasing anyone else at least to start with. I really like this piece.
