Painting How To: Abstract Landscape Painting Process by George Miller

  1. Initial Vision: I began this abstract painting with a loose sketch using red lines. This helped me map out the general composition and the flow of colors I envisioned, without getting too caught up in details at this early stage.
  2. Layering in Bold Colors: Next, I started to introduce bold, vibrant colors, using a palette knife to apply thick layers of paint. I focused on creating a sense of depth and texture, allowing the colors to blend and interact on the canvas in an organic way.
  3. Refining Shapes and Adding Depth: With the initial colors in place, I used a brush to refine the shapes and add more definition to the composition. I also started to incorporate subtle highlights and shadows to create a sense of depth and dimension.
  4. Enhancing Detail and Balance: In this stage, I continued to refine the shapes and details, adding more layers of color and adjusting the composition to achieve a sense of balance and harmony. I wanted to ensure the painting had a sense of visual flow and energy.
  5. Final Touches and Harmony: For the final touches, I focused on creating a sense of unity and harmony within the painting. I made subtle adjustments to the colors, shapes, and textures, ensuring that every element worked together to create a cohesive and visually engaging whole.


This abstract painting is a vibrant and expressive piece, full of movement and energy. The bold colors and textured surface create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, inviting the viewer to explore the depths of the composition.
