Build Intrigue with Abstract Paintings Filled with Layers and Texture (Intuitive Art Demo)

Video Description

In this art demo, I explore how to build intrigue in an intuitive abstract painting using layers, texture, and open-ended shapes. Working without a set plan, I let the painting evolve, responding to each step with curiosity. Creating intuitive art is about trusting the process—allowing colors, shapes, and textures to interact in unexpected ways. Throughout this painting tutorial, I experimented with layering techniques, contrast, and composition to create depth and mystery. Intrigue in abstract work comes from inviting the viewer to look deeper, question what they see, and form their own interpretation. –Painting Prompts– ➡️ 50 Abstract Warm-Up Painting Prompts https://www.etsy.com/listing/1661544174/50-abstract-warm-up-painting-prompts-art 📽️ What are Acrylic Skins?

These create textural contrast, adding an extra layer of complexity to the painting. Intuitive abstract painting thrives on these unexpected elements—thick and thin applications of paint, hidden details, and mark-making that feels organic rather than planned. Some of the techniques I explored in this video include: ✔ Building intrigue through layered glazes and overlapping shapes ✔ Using texture to create contrast and depth ✔ Incorporating bold and subtle elements for a dynamic balance ✔ Adding acrylic skins for extra dimension ✔ Playing with composition to enhance movement and rhythm If you’re looking for ways to challenge yourself, this painting tutorial is a great exercise in intuitive art and embracing uncertainty. The key to an engaging abstract painting is not just in the layers, but in allowing room for interpretation. Want more inspiration?
