Adding 3rd Color to an Abstract Painting

Video Transcript

"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. Alright, I'm cleaning off my squeegee right now 'cause I'm getting ready to apply a different color and I want to go ahead and keep that clean because I'm switching colors up. Throw that in the trash, set the squeegee down, and I'm going to come in with a little bit of black. Now, once again, I don't want to go with too much of black early because if I cover the whole thing in black, then it's just a black painting. So, I just want to come in here and wherever I did the white, I usually will try and go on almost opposite spots. And I'm not trying to get it symmetrical, I just want to kinda get the black in different areas. And, it's starting to shape up pretty cool right now, so. And then, if you want you can actually drag, instead of just doing a plop in one spot, you can bring it and just kinda move it around and get a few little plops over in this area. I might bring one, and see, I don't know if you can see it here, but there's a huge glob of paint right there of the white which is pretty cool and wiped off a ton of white. So now, I'm going to just kinda fill it out, put a plop there and there, and I think that's probably going to be enough of the black paint for now. And so, I'm just going to return, look at this painting, and see where it's going. And in the next segment, I'm going to continue to squeegee this out. And in the future, I'll start doing some texturing and some other things."
