DIY Abstract Mark Making – STOP Doubting Your Art!

Thanks to eveyone who commented on naming this piece, I have chosen to go with: from subscriber ‪@Billionth_Kevin‬ 'Doubtful Confidence'

Hey everyone! In this video, I’m taking you behind the scenes as I create my latest original abstract painting with some interesting mark-making. This piece is all about contrast—bold, expressive mark-making meets a soothing, calming blue background. Using acrylic, charcoal, and pastels, I’ll show you how I layer textures, add depth, and bring movement into my work. I must admit a couple of times in this painting session I was constantly Doubting this piece of art but remember it's important to push on through no matter the outcome.

If you love DIY abstract art, enjoy experimenting with different materials, or just want to see the process behind a unique modern painting, this one’s for you! Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, I hope this inspires you to try some new abstract mark-making techniques in your own work.
