Abstract Art for your wall in seven simple steps

Really like the way you use color, Matrika!

These are beautiful Matrika! Thank you for posting them. Yes scaling up is easiest to do gradually. I have been working on some very large canvases and painting over and over while I aim at being larger scale throughout. And you need so much more paint. Maybe chose your favourite 2 or three and aim to loosely replicate at just twice the size. Don't try to copy exactly but double up on paint and brush sizes, same palette and see what happens. Good luck x

Thank you Gabriella for the kind words and feedback. This is helpful because I did try to go much larger for a personal project and didn’t much care for the results. I will take your advice and will share the results. Appreciate your help and thanks for the class!

Haven’t quite managed to get much larger with the initial sketchbook paintings. But have enjoyed the process of continuing to explore what I like to do with acrylics and gouache
