I worked on the painting a bit more earlier today, and after looking at the painting, I was reminded that I needed to introduce a few more darks, and this time I wanted to add some solid darker red hues. I again turned the painting around a few times while working on it to balance the colors and shapes in the overall composition of this abstract painting.

Details from Abstract Painting Process
Phase 8 of Abstract Painting Process
After adding some darker neutrals to add some contrast and depth to the painting, I go back in with a lighter lilac mixed color and sprout some energetic bursts around some of the curves in the forms. There’s still even more to do that I have ideas to add to this painting!
Phase 7 of Abstract Painting Process
As I continued working on this painting, to balance out the lighter, bold colors I’ve chosen, there comes a point when I must introduce a darker neutral to balance the overall distribution of values and hues in the painting. In this (Phase 7) I have added some textured darker-brown areas, lending themselves to aid in grounding the painting.
