Be bold ! Creating a dynamic abstract painting on canvas with acrylic and charcoal

Dan Tirels Acrylic and charcoal on canvas 20" x 20"
Colourful bold abstract progression filmed in real time, working with acrylic paint and charcoal. Shown in full, from blank canvas to finished painting.

I wanted to show how I begin a painting, each stage builds up the composition, the charcoal is sprayed with a fixative and then painted over.

I realise this video is a little too long but I wanted to show the process without using timelapse or too many edits. I have allowed some edits when I need each layer of paint to dry and I didn't film the application of fixative after each layer of charcoal. I will upload a timelapse version of this video, so you can see the whole demo in about 5 minutes.

More details to follow.

Stretched primed canvas 20" x 20"
Acrylic paint (Winsor & Newton Galeria range)
