After a brief time off to finish out the summer art show season and set up my shop in a local artist collective, I've started painting again. I've been wanting to post longer videos on my channel, so I recorded the entire painting session and have divided it into a 3 part series. This is the 1st video in the series.
In this video I begin my painting using large, expressive shapes, applying the paint with a gloved hand. You'll see me use several different tools, including my favorite Catalyst silicone wedge, smaller silicone shapers, my hand, brushes and a palette knife. I'll talk a bit about pre-mixing colors, and also about composition. In the end, I will have created a painting that is both abstract and floral.
Please note that this video is a demo, not a tutorial, and the copyright to the paintings in my video are owned solely by Kathleen Rietz. Please do not copy or reproduce my paintings in any way unless for private use/practice only (NOT to sell or enter into competitions). There has been some confusion about the purpose of the videos I share on my channel. I offer lots of great tutorials in my online art courses, which are available here: https://kathleenrietzartist.thinkific... There is even a FREE private Facebook group for anyone taking a paid online art course authored by me.
