Description from the creator

When talking about representation in art it is about what you can recognize in art. Figurative art represents objects from your daily world, usually looking easily recognizable. When you look at abstracted art you can still recognize things until it becomes totally abstract where you can’t anymore. It is in fact a scale where one side is photorealistic and the other end of the spectrum is abstract, so realism abstraction being the opposites. There is also art that doesn’t relate to anything and is just art. You will find this in the minimalism art movement. In this video I show you examples of all sides.

In almost all my videos I use with Winsor&Newton Galeria acrylics, if not, I will say so in the video.
Other materials I use are in random order: 5, 10 and 40mm brushes, palette knives, acrylics medium, Ecoline liquid watercolor, Lyra color pencils, Lyra soft pastels, oil pastels, Stabilo color pencils, paper palette pad and basic masking tape. I also use household items like a permanent marker, scrub sponge, scissors, paper towel, and so on.
