Creative Abstract Art | Vase and Flowers with Bold Colors
In this video, I guide you through the process of creating a vibrant abstract painting on a canvas page in my big mixed-media journal. Using a bold color palette of bright oranges, yellow, and green, I start by laying down a neutral acrylic background. From there, I paint an abstract vase filled with flowers, adding in expressive details and marks to bring the piece to life. Whether you're new to abstract art or looking for fresh inspiration, this step-by-step tutorial will show you how to embrace bold colors and create your own unique floral composition.
