Creating Layered Abstract Art with Paul Columbus - "Facetime"
I was recently inspired to shed a little more light on the process behind creating abstract art in layers with a little help from my friend, Paul Columbus.
Paul recently posted a blog detailing his process of painting in layers that can be seen by clicking the link below.
With the success that post received here on Steemit, I decided it would be appropriate to showcase another of Paul's paintings that I had recently photographed.
Below, you can see the finished piece that Paul recently created.
We decided to create a timelapse video to show the viewer the different layers that were added to the final painting. Below you will see Paul create several different layers using a variety of colors to create the painting you see shown above.
The goal of creating this video was to have a digital keepsake of the process of creating the piece, shedding light on the layers beneath a rainbow of abstract form.
Paul's unique approach of layering different colors and patterns creates a deep sense of dimension and depth to the texture of the painting.
A mix of acrylic and spray paint creates a unique texture that stands out from the canvas.
The finished 1 of 1 painting "Face Time" is currently available for sale on Paul's website.
You can follow Paul right here on SteemIt, or you can check out all of his work on his website

Def worth a follow!
Very colourful and a cool technique . Do you have to wait long between layers for the paint to dry?
It drys pretty quickly here in the Florida sun!
@dune69 Im working mostly with Acrylic and Spraypaint. Even when im using heavy texture for the acrylic at most it takes about 2 days to dry (when im really "caking it on") ;)
@jameslano is right the heat is helping alot down here in the swamp!
