Easy Abstract Art for you to do at home... called Fruits of the Forest. This video will show a simplistic, abstract drawing, featuring a still life scene with a jug, a bowl with some stylized fruit and some fruit hanging from a branch. All of this is set in a forest, with bold tree outlines forming the backdrop.

There is nothing complicated about this drawing: just some basic outlines accentuating some diverse, various objects. Then, after deciding where the light source comes from, you can then draw big, bold areas of light and shade. The whole point of this video is to illustrate dark and light. Once the dark areas are coloured in, you can then decide to add some strategic colour and outlines, should you even want to.

We stop the drawing at various stages in the clip to take some 'insert' photographs... These inserts are to illustrate what each completed stage looks like. Many times somebody would not want to add colour, but are happy to keep it as minimalistic as possible. I'm a colourist, so I like to play with colour. You might prefer the black and white phase and that is just great too . Besides, I live in Thailand where everything is a sea of colour and added colour just seems so natural to do. To me, at least lol.

This artwork can easily be replicated, perhaps using some outlines of other objects. For me this is a hugely rewarding exercise and I hope that you will try it also.

The whole point of this channel is to illustrate to novice artists that art is nothing to fear, that art is only in the eye of the beholder, and that effective pieces of art can be produced using ordinary materials like whiteboard markers, permanent markers, coloured pencils etc.

As always, we also try to add great music to our clips, making this not just a visual experience, but also a clip that you can listen to without even looking at the screen.

You can use this art as a gift card, in a frame, as framed art, or laminate this artwork as placemats, or even just do this art as a form of meditation. There are no rules. Use this clip only as an inspiration. Should you find certain places in the clip too fast, slow down the playback speed of the clip and mute the music.
