"What type of Artist Acrylic do I use?"

To create modern abstract art or home decor art, like shown in my art DVD, you will need to use some artist acrylics. The main difference between artist acrylics a acrylic house paint is the consistency of the paint, artist acrylics are much thicker and this allows you to create texture and build layers using the paint it's self. House paint is more liquid therefore acts as a liquid . Artist acrylic come in a large range of brands and price. When creating abstract art like in this DVD you do not need to buy expensive artist acrylic, you can see the types of artist acrylics I use in creating art. The art techniques I use, mix and blend together house paint and artist acrylics so buying expensive paint is not required. The basic ranges like students acrylics work very well, plus with a coat of acrylic sealer they look amazing.


Acrylic house paints for creating abstract art
Acrylic House Paints
Available from your paint store and hardware stores. You can use any acrylic house paint ( flat, low sheen or gloss)

When creating abstract art, you can use any acrylic paint you like. The majority of the artworks I create are for home decorators and interior designers. Home decor art can be created by using a combination of paints together. You may have just finished that home renovation, or home decorating. Left over house paints are great for creating abstract artworks. In the image you will see some examples of the house paints I use in my artworks. Left overs from a feature wall can be ideal to use to compliment your home decorating. Even those sample pots can be used.



Acrylic clear gloss for creating abstract art
Acrylic Clear Coat
Available from your Artist Supply store, paint store or hardware store. You can use Gloss, Satin or Flat to seal your artwork and enhance your artworks colours

"How do I seal my artwork to get that professional finish?"

After your abstract artwork is thoroughly dry, always use an acrylic sealer to finish your artwork professionally. If  the colours look dull and flat, the sealer will bring the colours to life and help protect your work. Acrylic sealer comes in a few different finishes, Flat, Satin and Gloss and also in a liquid or a spray. I mainly use the liquid. You can see an example of the sealer I use in the image. You can use any brand you like as long as it is acrylic, you do not have to use the expensive brand, you will find that the cheaper ones do the same job.   
Important: If using "purples" be aware that this pigment often bleeds, so before applying your coat of acrylic sealer, seal any purple sections with acrylic sealer and allow to dry first, then coat the whole painting with acrylic sealer, this will prevent the purple being spread across your whole artwork. You will notice that your sealer will be a white milky colour, do not be alarmed, it will dry crystal clear when it dries.

Paint Brushes and Spreaders
When creating abstract artworks like the ones I teach in my Step by Step Abstract Art DVD series, you do not need expensive brushes. You can purchase the cheap brands or use any old brushes you have at home, because the artwork we create is not detailed work.
