Working with textures is my favorite way to create a multi-layered and interesting “I want to touch it” artwork!

SILVER TO THE TOUCH is a subtle, layered abstract with textures and metallics. Very modern, very cool.

The first step to creating a neutral abstract landscape painting is to prep the canvas, aka the background.

The best part is if you’re a beginner, and especially if you’re trying your hand at abstract art, you don’t need a super fancy canvas as often robust paper is more than good enough.

We want the background to be a combination of titanium white and light gray, which adds definition and is pretty standard practice for painting with acrylic glaze mediums. To do that we use glaze and shade pigments. We’ll need a transparent oxide and shade grey color.
