Creating an Abstract Portrait in acrylics on canvas

Watch me create my abstract girl portrait painting Colors Of Emotion starting with a blank canvas. I paint from imagination and don't use any models. I start painting directly on an empty canvas, inventing the shapes, colors and lines as I paint - I never know how the painting will end up looking in the end - the creative process is an adventure and a discovery. I created this painting using a Chinese ink brush with liquid black acrylic paint and then used a regular brush with acrylic paints for the colors.
