Good to have another abstract painter in here. The marbled colour part caught my attention because I spent a year trying to force value structure into abstract work and it kept killing all the flow. Took me forever to figure out you can chase movement OR tight control, rarely both at once. Electric hues next to shadowy currents sounds like you've got that push-pull figured out. What kicks off a piece for you, colour first or the pattern?
Welcome! 🎨 The "seeing where the colors take me" line is honestly the whole ambition worth chasing in abstract work. Marbled color and shadowy currents together sounds like such a good tension to hold. Stick around, this room sees that kind of chase.
Hey Kayla, welcome in!
Working with color as a guide rather than a plan takes real confidence. The fact that you let the painting lead you means each one probably teaches you something different.
