Introduction

Welcome to The Painting Pantry

This course is all about creative freedom, playful exploration, and building your own personal toolkit of techniques to elevate your abstract paintings.

Inside, you’ll find a collection of short, inspiring lessons — each one focusing on a different method or material you can add to your process. Some will feel like instant favourites. Others might surprise you. The beauty is, you get to pick and choose what works for you.

The goal?
To give you more confidence in the studio — and more tools up your sleeve when you face a blank canvas.

You don’t need to buy a bunch of new supplies to get started. Most of these techniques can be done using things you already have at home or in nature. You’ll be amazed at what a kitchen sponge, a twig, or a bit of old paper can do.

This isn’t about rules or perfection — it’s about play, process, and developing your own unique visual language.

So dive in, experiment freely, and most of all... have fun!

Abstract Painting Techniques

Welcome to The Painting Pantry

Simply work your way through the videos and experiment with each technique. Some you'll love — others might not be your thing — and that's totally fine. You can use all of them or just one to elevate the quality of your abstract paintings.

Having a toolkit of go-to techniques up your sleeve when you step into the studio builds confidence. And the more you experiment and develop your own unique ways of working, the more you’ll stand out — and get noticed by collectors and galleries.
