Let me show you a really simple technique for creating a beautiful piece of abstract art. I'm using lots of bright colours - anyone can have a go and have fun!
In the first half of the video I take you through some basic preparation - what tools you will need and especially using things you may already have in the house - like sponges, cardboard and paint brushes. You can skip to around the 09:00 mark if you just want to see how the painting is created.
I also talk about canvas, painting the background and how to finish off the edges.
Look out for the second video here ( • How to paint an abstra... ) where we will get straight into creating using another simple and amazing technique to make a beautiful, colourful painting - completely different to this one!
If you found this video helpful, inspiring or entertaining, and you would like to buy us a coffee, you can donate using the Super Thanks button (the heart icon). It'll go towards paying for the next camera (as I seem to break them with alarming frequency!!!). Thanks for all your support - Ed an Ady

I tried my first ever attempt at abstract art (or any art, to be quite honest) by trying my hand at this piece. I wish I could share it with you, and other viewers in your community (but not sure if that is possible), just for any tips to get better. I just want honest feedback, and I know people on social media would provide that. 😉 Thanks! - Doug E.
Hi Doug - if you follow me on Instagram (@swarezart) you can send me a DM and and will post it!!!
That was enjoyable to watch. Thanks!
Our pleasure!
postpartum depression is kicking my butt! I am going to start painting again in hopes that it will help. Trying this out. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have no doubt you'll feel lifted when yo can pick up a tool and start moving some paint around! Wishing you well and thanks for sharing your thoughts....
I've been perusing video after video for this type of effect. This is the first one to really inspire me and the confidence that I can do it. Thanks!
Wonderful! Thank you ☺️
✨Swarez, this is Blanco, the fish monger. Just a quick thank you for doing the great things you all do. I’ve made progress in my art work. You’re an inspiration. ❤
You are very kind Juan - thank you so much! Long live the fish!!

I appreciate that Guy - thank you for the valued feedback. Hope you have fun!!! 😊😊
What do you use for a top coat
I love simplicity! It turned out quite nice! It's better to act than over think sometimes! There are so many ways to make art, it is endless! Now I'm retired and I can do as much or little as I like! I never had the time for art while working and raising my son. But now, the world is my canvas!! Thank you for your great ideas and for bringing this to us! I love it!
You are very welcome Eileen, thanks for sharing your thoughts...
You make it so easy and simple.
Practice is helpful Theresa, but you can definitely do this!
Bravissimo, mi piace molto la tua arte e grazie perché mi immergo nelle tue creazioni che ne prendo spunto😜😍

Love this! I'm new to the world of art, and I've only been experimenting for the last few weeks. I love creating textures, either with different pastes I make myself or layers of paint. I'm definitely going to try this.
Wonderful! Thanks Rhiannon

If you had to pick one painting you’ve done that you love, which one would it be?
I be happy with your top few that you like creating. Send me the link so I can. View it if you like.
@@SIFENCER tricky one but I do like 'Bad Day at Black Rock' (www.swarez.co.uk/modern-art-paintings-for-sale/bad-day-at-black-rock/) and Graduation Day (www.swarez.co.uk/modern-art-paintings-for-sale/graduation-day/)
I'm so excited 😆 to do this! I'm glad I found you!
Great to hear Diane! Good luck with it.
This is so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. How fun. I’m going to give this a go today 🤗❤️
You are so welcome!
I believe in art so i love your stile God bless u
Thank you!
Amazing tutorial!!!!!! 🤩
Thank you!
That was great, it would kind of a therapy thing, so simple to get into and have fun, thanks for showing us
Thanks Les; much appreciated :)
Piece of cake.....yea right.
Hi. You are amazing. My new teacher. Yasssss.
Yay! Thank you!
its definitely a happy painting
Thanks Juilanne!
Thanks so much for sharing this! You have a Bob Ross type of feel, upbeat, let's keep it simple, and have fun! Wonderful combination of evolved skill and unpretentiousness.
Thanks so much!
I was thinking of Bob Ross as well. You're awesome to watch.
Very beautiful…. The best art I’ve ever seen!!!!
Oh wow! thank you very much indeed!!!
I have watched a ton of different artists on here, but you are the first one I've seen that makes me feel like I'm getting a one-on-one lesson and using tools and techniques that even someone who is on a very tight budget can accomplish. And the music in the background is awesome too. I just wish I could get me some of those big canvases, but anymore one like what was used for this painting, would cost well over $70 right now. I am going to subscribe to your channel now and watch all I can!!
Glad to have you on board Danny and thank you for subscribing 👍
I am a painter, I paint houses not just as a living but with the greatest passion as I love it. I always asked my self, can I be creative in any other way? I though that I’m order to be an artist in painting one’s have to be a Picasso, well I just discovered today that I can paint an abstract and let other people interpret what I just painted. Lol it should be so much fun as the houses I paint. You inspired me. Thanks!!!!!
My pleasure and thank you for commenting!
Wonderful Painting with these nuance of colores 👏😍
Thank you so much 😀
Really great abstract. It really snaps with vibrancy! I thought initially, "...not sure about all these horizontals on the verticals". But I was pleasantly surprised.
Glad to hear it Doodyski!!!
"Happy little abstract 🌳"
Loved it! Can't wait to try it myself.
Have fun!
Why am i soo strongly drawn to these colours. Not just this painting!! All of the others hanging in you studio attract me. I love the look of mixed colour, whether they work on the colour wheel or not. It just fascinates me so much how drawn i am to them.
That's kind of you to say so Lorraine - thank you!
this is such a beautiful piece of art! i would have never guess that those are the tools that had been used.
Thank you Summer!
I was always lousy at art class back in primary school, never able to do any realistic drawing or painting, cause my imagination was too abstract for the school :) Now you truly inspired me and directed me how to express myself. Very inspiring. Thanks!!
That's great to hear and I am delighted we have given you a little inspiration!! You got this dude, go for it!!
so true same wth me my imagination s so random so abstract n tats nt gud for school era bt m so glad to see u r work s my thought exactly ... thnx for showng this m truly inspired ❤️❤️❤️luv fm British columbia
@@preetumishra thanks very much!
@@SwarezArt ee
I am so inspired to attempt a larger canvas with a squeegee,much appreciation ✨🙏🏾✨
You're very welcome!
You are so upbeat, fun to watch!
Thanks very much - great to hear!
Quite inspiring. I'm a portrait artist so I'm always "painting within the lines" so to speak. Always wanted to try abstract but I didn't know where to start. Can't wait to throw some paint on the canvas and just go with it. Looks very freeing. Thanks!
Go for it Cherie - I'm sure you're going to love it!
Beautifully done!
Thank you very much!
@@SwarezArt you most welcome Swarez..... keep painting!
Not everyone can articulate their presentation so well. A multitalented artist indeed. Maybe time to for Mr. Swarez to try a little bit of theater work. :)
Ha! Thanks for that - maybe the only stage I should be on is the first one outta here!!! 🤣
Im almost blind and could feel my paint and window scraper so easily! I can paint again 🤩
Wow! That's amazing to hear Ann-Marie - power to you!
So inspiring ❤
Thank you 😊
I've been an artist for a long time now - different styles and methods - no purely acrylic pour technique... and can I say I LOVE your videos. I kick back with my cask of wine and watch you. For new start artists you are a pure gift and for folks like me even I love watching how you create your art - especially the HUGE ones. I've done a few 'big ones' for our house - but NO where near the size you do!! I just had to say thank you for your wonderful videos! From Australia!
Thank you so much Gidgit - that’s so kind of you. I hope you’ll be able to watch todays stream as it’s going to be pretty cool! Really appreciate your comments today and thank you again for supporting us in the channel.
@@SwarezArt So welcome. I missed the live paint as you know - Australia - we are on 'weird asleep time' but I hope to be able to time it so I can watch! x
Yaaaasssss👍👍😃!!!! Breaking boundaries and demystifying traditions... IT TRULY REALLY IS THAT SIMPLY!!! Having a go right now!!! THANKS AND KEEP GOING!!!❤️
Thank you so much!!
Redeculosly beautiful wow i really love you're art God bless the work of you're hand 🙏

This was so extremely helpful. I’ve been having trouble getting back to painting and was looking for some techniques to try and inspiration and I’m so glad I watched this. This was so beautiful and a really great watch. Thank you for the colors.
You are very welcome Alex; delighted to hear that the video has helped!!

Thank you so much Sally and welcome aboard! Great to have you here!
Wow!!! That was amazing and beautiful. At the beginning of the pandemic quarantine, I purchased a bunch of paints and did a few completely dreadful canvases. This looks like something I might just have a chance to pull off. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Wonderful to hear and I have every confidence in you! You got this...
Sorry but it’s nice to know im not alone.😊😂
Nice and fun to use window wiper blades and box technique s gives different thickness as well for variation s and shapes covers areas. As gaps occur giving more details as well . So other shapes appeared. I really enjoyed this as fun piece of Art work to try . Also of use of sponges for the sides good idea for finishing touches of edges.
Thank you Susan - I really appreciate that! 👍
Amazing art right here... he makes it look so easy
Thank you so much 😀
Finally! I have found what I’ve been looking for 👏 I’ve been acrylic paint pouring for a while but wanted to try some abstract art. I had ideas in my head but couldn’t find exactly ‘it’ anywhere.. until now! Yay! Thank you 🙏 New subscriber here 🥳
