Learn how to paint like these in our Abstract Art Classes

 

Check out this large abstract artwork that I created and installed for a client the other day. This artwork is 250cm x 190cm and it shows how a extra large abstract art can complement the interior design of any home. I find that many people are afraid to try extra large abstract artworks, but as you can see this artwork is the feature of the the home and is used instead of a painted feature wall.

  

This is one of my latest abstract art styles, here I use a heavy texture medium to create this bold home decor artwork. I will be teaching this art technique in one of my future DVD series. This abstract artwork looks fantastic at the top of the staircase and creates a warm welcome to a previously bland area of the home. This art technique may look like it would take a long time to learn, but once you are shown how it is created in a step by step format, you will be amazed at how achievable it can be.

 

Here I have an example of my Zebra series being used in interior design installations, some people are afraid to use such bold and sometimes confronting artwork like the Lion attacking the Zebra. My inspiration for the Lion & Zebra came directly from my own experiences in Africa, nature is amazing and can be both beautiful and ugly at the same time. As you can see in the images, this art style can be very powerful and completely change the home decor. I am a great fan of eclectic home decor art and love walking into a room that has character wherever you look.

  

This is an example of some of the corporate, large abstract artworks that I am asked to create. This is a commissioned piece for one of Australia's leading TV Channels, the Nine Network and the GO! channel is one of the Nine Networks new channels. This abstract artwork is the same size as the GO! artwork below. The Logo is created using the same technique as the GO! logo. The background is a free flowing artwork using blending techniques to create the amazing liquid look. You can see more photos of the different stages of this large abstract artwork if you go to my Behind the Scenes page.

Hi, This large abstract  artwork is a commissioned piece for a new Australian TV channel called GO!. This channel has a target audience of young viewers. I created this abstract artwork from the ground up, because of the size I had to create the canvas myself. Then the fun started creating the GO! logo. The logo is built up with a texture medium that I make myself. Once the logo was in place then the colour process starts. If you go to my Behind the Scenes page you will find more explanation and photos of the creation of this piece.

This is an artwork painted in the style I call my Galaxy Series. My client lives at Bondi Beach in Sydney and they wanted to capture the colours of the ocean and beach with a splash of red. The Galaxy series is ideal for bringing your home decor together. You can use what ever colour combination suits your home decor. Interior designers love the fluid feel that is created using this abstract art technique. This is the same art technique used in the NINE logo above. I will be including the Galaxy series technique in one of my future instructional art DVD's.

Hi, I have just finished painting this large abstract wall artwork for one of my Interior Designers. If you would like to see the stages involved in creating abstract wall art, like the image of blizzard shown here, just go to Behind the Scenes page. There you can see me in my studio creating this artwork. This art style I call Blizzard, this is the same style that I teach on my DVD Series 1. This large home decorating artwork is so versitile and can be created in any size or colour you like. Interior Designers love this artwork. Glenn 

I thought you might like to see the stages involved to paint this tiger. I love to paint wild animals, but sometimes finding the time between creating abstract art for my Interior Designers, private customers and the ongoing development of future DVD series, I am not able to paint as many as I would like. If you go to my Behind the Scenes page you can find images showing the different stages of how I created this tiger. These wildlife artworks are my abstract interpretations, they are great impact pieces when you are looking for that extra punch in your home decorating.

   

The day we filmed Step by Step Interior Design Art DVD Series was an exciting day for all. We set up some of my abstract artworks in this amazing film studio, my dream started to come to life. For years I have wanted to share the art techniques I developed, this was my chance to do just that. I share more photos of the filming day on Behind the Scenes page. Onion Media where the production company that I used, their director and staff did an amazing job in bringing to life the step by step process of creating abstract art. How to paint abstract art does not have to be difficult, this is why it was so important to me that this instructional art dvd had to be of a high quality. The end result of the two days of filming was a DVD series, teaching modern contemporary art to artists of all levels. Go to DVD . Series.   Glenn 

This is a example of a large wall artwork that I created for a Interior Designer just the other day. This artwork is 250cm x 90cm. This a perfect example of "BLIZZARD" from Series 1 of my DVD series. The colour tones in this artwork were supplied to me by the Interior Designer so it would coordinate with the home decor he was working with. As you will learn on the DVD, this is the same technique I teach to create BLIZZARD. It would not have mattered what size the Interior Designer asked for, I can create the artwork to suite because I have the art technique. So please remember that once you have the correct art technique, you can create your own abstract home decor art that will compliment the rest of your home decor. One of the common mistakes made by DIY home decorators is that they create art too small and the end result just does not look quite right. Happy painting, Glenn

 

For those Artists who follow my website, you might like to go and look at the "MEET THE ARTIST" page. There you will see a very good example of the differnt stages of me creating this artwork. This shows you what you can do with this style "Hanging by a Thread"on DVD Series 1. This artwork was commissioned by one of my interior designers for an installation in a large architect designed home , overlooking Sydney Harbour. This shows you how impresive your wall art can be . By creating  large wall art it will always become more impresive the larger it becomes. If you can learn to paint abstract art in a large format, you will impress your friends at the same time as amazing yourself. This example of large home decor art is created in the exact same way as I demonstrate in my Step by Step Interior Design Art DVD Series 1. So please do not be afraid to tackle a large artwork, take your time and follow the step by step format. Remember , if it does not come out the way you like, then just paint over it and start again. It is all great practise, you can even start on a different style such as "Blizzard" on DVD Series 1.      So happy painting, Glenn    

Autumn is in the air and it's a welcome relief from the neverending humidity of the Sydney summer this year!  We have recently added a new "Feedback" page to our website to give our fellow art enthusiasts some added confidence to get stuck into some painting and give it a go!  I'm working on an artwork at the moment showing a zebra being hunted and brought down by a lion which is inspired by my own experiences in Africa where I watched a buffalo being brought down by a pride of lions.  It was cruel but I couldn't take my eyes of it.... nature is both beautiful and ugly.  I really enjoy painting artwork which is inspired by the African bush, it's wonderful people and animals.  Happy Painting, Glenn

I agree with Glenn, I love the Autumn change in the air and of course the beautiful Autumn colours we still have in store.  I've recently finished working on an artwork called "The Midas Touch" incorporating heaps of thick metallic acrylics in gold, bronze, silver and copper.  The artwork has varying degrees of texture in a similar style to my India Series.  I love working with metallics and seeing them come to life under great lighting.  Cheers Kim
