Abstract Painting | Acrylic and Watercolor Paint
This an abstract painting created with acrylic and watercolor paint. The artwork is approximately 16.5″ x 11″ on heavy foam core. Sweeping movements were used to wisp the paint onto the surface, and instead of using the brush, the brush handle was used to push and pull the paint around. The painting is primarily black and white, but hints of yellow, blue, and orange permeate the entire abstract artwork.

Really beautiful Michael. Tremendous amount of depth is created with the layers melding into the black. I really like the minimalist approach on the primary colors. VEry,very, very cool.

Thanks Vikki! Yea, the depth is crazy. I tried to hold the entire composition in mind three dimensionally but I got lost in the swirls early on. So I let go and trusted the painting would work out in the end.
