welcome back to the channel — in this video, I’m excited to share the final part of an abstract painting demo that takes you deep into both the creation and dissection of an expressive, layered work. In the first few minutes, you’ll see the real-time painting process — layering, adding color, and even integrating collage using cold wax with oils. Then, I’ll walk you through a detailed breakdown of the decisions I made: what worked, what didn’t, and why I pushed the painting further, even when it seemed finished. This isn’t just about technique — it’s about understanding the artist’s thought process, the “why” behind the brushstrokes, and how to evaluate your own work with a critical and creative eye.
