Abstract Art Video Montage

Quite simply this art video is a series of paintings brought together in a slideshow to form an abstract montage. Some people think abstract art can be seen as an easy way out and require not as much technical ability as traditional art.

Well I believe those people are wrong because not only has abstract art been going for longer than traditional art it also comes in such a variety different forms. Sculpture, paintings, multi media, digital and the list goes on. This artist has focused on paintings with a little bit of an attitude and created some very�psychedelic marbling techniques with what seems to be an acrylic paint composite. Sit back and enjoy the display.

Leila Arzani: Rainbow Water Marbling (nails)

This is a video with which Leila Arzani uses a small vessel, I think a mug, and pipettes various color droplets to create a form of rainbow marbling. She uses a stick to guide the flow of pattern within the marbling which she is trying to achieve so that when she has the result she is after she can then pick up an artificial nail and quite literally dip it directly in to directly replicate the design. A very interesting video which looks like good fun to do.

Mark Chadwick: Abstract Fluid Painting Video Gallery

In this video is a selection of very interesting fluid paintings. It looks very similar to marbling techniques used with high viscose paints. A great example of an artist staying true to their own preferred style and ideals. Have a watch and see what you think. The artist is called Mark Chadwick.

Itir Orcun: Oil Colour And Marbling On Canvas

Artist Itir Orcun gets her oil paints and her canvas to offer a clear and concise video tutorial on exactly how to best achieve a realistic marbling technique. The result is an explosion of reds and greens in a formation of various sizes of circles. Once she is happy with the way her oil paints have formed as a marbling she then works into it direct with a paint brush to gain extra detailing. A very nice video with a technique where no result can be duplicated. Get your canvas and have fun.
