"DAVID CLEMEN: Hi. I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village, and today, we're going to do an abstract painting on a larger scale on a piece of birch wood. Now that we have gone over the supplies, this piece I wanted to do, I've got kind of, when I was thinking about it, kind of an Asian theme so basically, I'm going to use red. That's not red, red white and black. And these colors just kinda remind me of simplicity, but the red inspires passion and fire and things like that, and white is a color of peace and serenity and things like that. So, I want this to be a really simple piece but I wanted to have some powerful colors. And so, I'm not sure how it will play out but I definitely know that I'll be using red, white and black. And with the white and red and black, when I start the squeegee and they mix together, they'll create vibrant colors that would really pop off this wood and I think it will be really a nice piece for maybe a living room or a bedroom. So, these are colors I'm going to use, red, white and black."
