Learn how to use nature as inspiration to create an abstract artwork in acrylic. I am a professional artist based in Melbourne and I have been painting full time since 2013.

I will be demonstrating how to create a pleasing abstract artwork in real time, I will also talk about colour mixing and using a limited palette, however if you would like to learn more about colour mixing make sure to watch my other videos.
