Original Contemporary Modern Art Abstract Paintings by Filomena de Andrade Booth

  I was recently privileged to work with an amazingly talented group of artists who attended my Go Big, Go Bold abstract painting workshop in Irving, Texas.

 We had a ton of fun as we "played" with our paints on canvases that we textured beforehand and then embellished with bold strokes of color!

  On day 3 of the workshop, we got to enjoy all the masterpieces as each artist discussed her work and explained how the new techniques were applied to each painting.

New friendships were made and older ones renewed.  Lots of new memories created!

 Some of us even did some finger painting!! 

I am currently booking my  Go Big, Go Bold workshops for 2016 in Florida.

"Nature in the Abstract", a guidebook for painting abstract and contemporary paintings

"Mission Gardens Abstract", acrylic on paper (cropped) 

15" x 22", acrylic on paper

Have you wanted to paint in a more contemporary approach, "paint looser", and explore abstract painting? 

The book  Nature in the Abstract    is a newly released, step-by-step guidebook for painting abstracts in acrylic paints, inspired by nature. Written by a Signature Artist member of the International Society of Acrylic Painters.

It can be difficult to view a garden, a landscape or a pond scene and know how to create an abstract painting based on those subjects.  In the book, ideas for abstract paintings inspired by nature are discussed and detailed, and the results are not only a beautiful painting (the painting above is from the chapter "Abstract Patterns from a Garden"),  a method is learned to use on similar subjects.  

Creativity and painting skills grow with each chapter.  Are you in a painting rut, or stuck, creatively?  There's a painting project to become "unstuck"!  Acrylic is a great painting medium for exploration.

The short description for "Nature in the Abstract":   a guidebook for learning to recognize shapes and patterns from nature, learning how to abstract those, and transfer the ideas to paint. Finishing, enhancing paintings and truly "seeing" your painting when finished or while in progress is discussed in detail. 

An 11-page preview of the book including table of contents and select sample pages is available:
