7 Prompts For Abstract Painting
Gosh, I love your classes Michelle! I watched the class on a Thursday and could not wait for the weekend to dig right in!
I grabbed an old sketchbook for all of the projects. I filled three-quarters of this one years ago with awful half-finished sketches so I figured I'd fill it up with beautiful abstracts and be done with it. I also tried to focus on using tubes of paint that I don't often use in my day-to-day art practice to push myself and also to use them up!
Line
I'm not really a line person, so this one was a bit of a struggle. I do love those messy lines in the top corner on the second painting, and the pops of green-gold throughout.
Circles and Shapes
Not sure how I feel about these guys, but they were very fun to paint!
Squares

This one is one of my favourites now, especially the second page. I struggled with it for a while, but I like how intricate it is and yet simple at the same time!
The Blended Page

This was very fun, and I like how dreamlike the result is.
Anything But a Brush
This one was a very fun process. I just used what I had so I relied on a small rubbery sculpting brush, a little sculpting scraper, two different palette knives, and my fingers.
Collage
I think this one got a bit away from me. It was better earlier and I overworked it and covered some of the magic, but that's oh kay. It's all part of the process.
And I don't have any texture mediums or whatnot so I skipped that one.
Thank you for such a lovely class, Michelle!
