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, we are almost finished. And I like what's going on here but I really like these big blobs of red with not much other color on it so I think I'm going to just put some really large red in here and I'm running out of paint. That must be a sign that it's almost finished. I'm going to put those big three blobs there. I'm just going to slowly drag this red across. And I'm going to come back in, go back the other way. And then every now and then you'll notice I stop and look at what's going on 'cause I might see something that I didn't see before. So--then that's really the process of keeping on going. And then I come in here and drag that one there. So I think this one is just about done. So, enjoy abstract painting and get you a squeegee and if you don't have one, get your credit card or something like that and it helps you spread paint really easily and-see what you come up with.
