Paint with Me | Loosening up with movement & freedom | abstract painting techniques

Video Description

Revisiting a technique great for loosening up and getting started with abstract landscape painting. Join me in this studio session, where I work into the next six paintings of an ongoing series exploring what the outdoors means to me. Recently, I've been holding myself back with the need to re-invent the wheel all the time in my creative practice. I've made this video and project, structured to help a little with that. Stay tuned to see how it develops! Here's a link to watch the first video in this series of Outdoors paintings: https://youtu.be/n6tkMLiPc5w?si=aLvbTwFK4AQdTB9O Today I'm working from footage shot in the north west of Scotland, taking in views hiking up two munros, and exploring the summer isles by sea.
