8 Key Rules for my Abstract Paintings

Video Description

In this episode of The Artist’s Diary, I’m sharing the personal rules that keep me grounded when I feel off track — things like always working with intention, limiting colour, letting layers come and go, and knowing when to stop rather than over-finish. You’ll see sketchbooks, works in progress, and paintings that live right on the edge — where energy is still alive and nothing feels too tidy. This isn’t a step-by-step tutorial, but a look inside how I stay aligned with my own voice as an abstract painter. Some days the painting flows. Other days, the clarity does. And when it doesn’t… these are the rules that bring me back. 🎨 The Artist’s Diary is my ongoing vlog series about life as an artist in the north of England — the experiments, the hard bits, the surprises, and the honest reality of making art day after day.
