Hey, I’m Chris Loud—an intuitive abstract and mixed-media painter working mostly in acrylics. This channel is all about the process of painting: loosening up, trusting your instincts, and building dynamic abstract paintings without overthinking every mark.
You’ll find short painting demos, 10–20 minute warm-up exercises, creative prompts, and composition ideas you can use right away. We often work with limited color palettes, simple tools, and time limits to spark creativity and build confidence. The focus is on intuitive abstract painting, abstract landscapes, layering, mark-making, and discovering strong compositions inside spontaneous work.
My goal isn’t perfection—it’s momentum. Expect quick experiments, loose marks, unexpected discoveries, and ideas you can adapt to your own style.
Subscribe and find fresh inspiration for your abstract paintings.

Two more recent paintings from my studio wall to Etsy. www.etsy.com/shop/ChrisLoudArt
Both came out of loose, intuitive sessions where I wasn’t trying to “solve” anything—just letting color, marks, and movement have their say. I always love seeing how differently they land once they’re finished.

A few of the paintings you’ve seen me make this year have officially “left the nest” and flown over to my Etsy page. It’s always fun watching these little experiments turn into real pieces. www.etsy.com/shop/ChrisLoudArt
Also — I’ve got a painting from a recent video in the Holiday Show at Auric Gallery called "In Passing": www.etsy.com/shop/ChrisLoudArt
Just wanted to share what I’ve been up to! What creative endeavors have you been up to?
