This Painting Wasn’t Working — Now It’s One of My Favourites!

This Textured Acrylic painting didn’t start out the way I hoped. In this video I'm using joint compound and texture combs, to create beautiful textured abstract painting.
I created layered circular patterns full of depth and potential — but the original color palette just felt off. I added earthy tones, greens, and blues… but something wasn’t clicking.
So I stepped away.
The next day, I trusted my gut and completely switched direction — bringing in a soft, airy mix of whites, blues, warm greys, and just a touch of silver leaf. That one change made all the difference!

In this video, I take you through the full process:
Creating textured patterns on canvas
Working through color struggles in real time
The moment I decided to repaint it all
Adding subtle shimmer with silver leaf
The final reveal

If you've ever felt stuck in your own creative process, I hope this inspires you to keep going, trust your intuition, and not be afraid to start over. 💙
