  • This is a timelapsed demonstration on how to create an abstract acrylic painting on gallery stretched canvas using a catalyst wedge and a flat brush.
    Adjust the settings on the video to watch a slower version and to gain a better understanding of my technique.
    Tools:
    Soft body acrylic paint
    Flat brush (medium)
    Silicone catalyst wedge (M-06)
    All abstract paintings are available at www.courtseniorart.com

    Can you please do an instructional video on how you curve and navigate the wedge ? Thank you!

    Beautiful work, thank you for the inspiration 🙌 Due to my impatient nature and wanting to give this a go, I used the silicone part of a baking spatula. I have to say it worked rather well until I can buy a catalyst Wedge. 💕

    Love your art! Are some of the paints transparent and if not what makes them layer so thin?

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 6 lety +1

      Deborah Narendorf - I like to use fluid paint :)

  • @truckart

    Love your very different style of painting. The end result is lovely! May I ask what is a catalyst wedge and where is it sold?

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 4 lety

      Thank you! You can order them online from Catalyst - that is the brand name :)

  • @michelinelarin4700
    @michelinelarin4700 Před 6 lety +4

    beautiful work, but may I ask if you dry totally before adding new Colors and do you add water or anything else, Thanks a lot for your
    collaboration...and answer.

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 6 lety +4

      Micheline Larin I don’t let the layers dry intentionally - I am always spritzing the canvas with water :)

  • @lemniscate44
    @lemniscate44 Před 6 lety

    So beautiful! This painting makes me think of a pile of sheer silk scarves. Do you let the paint dry between layers on purpose or does it just dry quickly because it’s acrylic paint?

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 6 lety +1

      lemniscate44 i don’t purposely let the paint dry. I am constantly spritizing with water but it depends on the effect I am going for :)

  • @iwillavenge3024

    • @CourtSeniorART

      iwill avenge it varies, but usually Golden and Windsor Newton

  • @sweetnesslight5656

    Hello
    I just discovered your videos, it's beautiful this fluidity and transparency, you want to try to paint! smile...
    what brands of paints do you use? Fluid paintings already I think but do you have preferences?
    in any case thank you for all your sharing, you are magic !!

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 5 lety +2

      Thank you so much! I use Golden Fluid acrylics only. :)

  • @gabrielam6385
    @gabrielam6385 Před 5 lety

    DO you use medium or glaze to extend the flow? I've tried wet on wet and or I put too much paint because colours are mixing. Thank you for sharing

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 5 lety +1

      Gabriela Megan I use fluid acrylics only and no medium :)

    Can’t wait for your next video! This is fantastic! Do you wait in between to add another color?

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 5 lety +2

      Barb Templin thank you! No, I don’t wait, but some areas dry more quickly as the paint is so thin :)

    • @LK-pb4no
      @LK-pb4no Před 5 lety

      Court Senior ART what are you using to thin the paint out?

  • @BillyBullshitter
    @BillyBullshitter Před 4 lety

    Is that plain water you spray?

  • @catclark9488
    @catclark9488 Před 2 lety

    The final still shot of this one shows it on a brick wall at a much larger size. Do you actually paint them smaller then sell as prints in a larger size, like the one on the wall, or is that just a mock up to show how it would look larger?

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 2 lety +1

      At the time, I was selling prints at that size, but sadly I don't do this anymore.

  • @susankelly3136
    @susankelly3136 Před 6 lety

    Stunning very clever 😍😍
    May i ask Do you use the paints straight out of the tube or mix with water?

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 6 lety +1

      susan kelly thank you! I use them straight out of the bottle - but they are fluid acrylics :)

    Does anyone know where I might be able to find a catalyst wedge with a longer edge on it? Like a foot wide instead of the size she's using here?

    Could you please do a tutorial video? Pretty please?

  • @anitaclark6502
    @anitaclark6502 Před 6 lety +2

    Still too fast though and sometimes it seems like little parts of it disappear..maybe it's my internet..but I SO wish you would do one slower because it is so hard for me to see how you are doing it. And are you using more than one catalyst wedge and a brush?

    • @chrisreynolds196
      @chrisreynolds196 Před 6 lety +2

      anita clark. Just tap the top right corner of the video and then tap the 3 dots. Select playback speed then choose your preferred speed. 0.5 is usually sufficient. Hope that helps.

    • @CourtSeniorART
      @CourtSeniorART  Před 6 lety +1

      anita clark you can adjust the settings in the video to watch slower :)
