Summer Watercolor Studies

I created this series of watercolor studies using watercolor on cotton paper inspired by the natural sites and sounds of the summer season. This studio vlog documents my abstract watercolor process.

Summer Painting Process

It's summer, and the sky is full of color and light. After a period of away from painting, I was finally ready to start a new series with the spectrum of light and color as its subject. I consider this time of year to be the season of inspiration. This studio vlog documents my painting process and the natural sights and sounds of the summer season.

Early Spring Update

Hi everyone, I know it's been a while since my last video, so I am here with a brief update on what's happened this past winter. Thank you for your patience and I look forward to making a new series of work this spring season!

Winter Sky Series

The sun casts a different kind of light in winter. This studio vlog documents my abstract painting process. I created this series of artwork using acrylic paint on birch wood panels. The winter sky has inspired the colors and surfaces of these new paintings.

Sounds of Painting on Wood & Autumnal Reflections

Each change in season introduces a new perspective on how we navigate through life. It’s now late autumn. The colors of the landscape are now soft and desaturated under the low autumn sun. This studio vlog documents my abstract painting process and some reflective thoughts on daydreaming and goal setting. I created this series of artwork using acrylic paint on birch wood panels. These pieces are now available for purchase in my online shop. alexcurleyart.com/shop

Inktober

This October, I decided to participate in Inktober, a prompt-driven daily art challenge using only ink. These videos document my Inktober process in my sketchbook. Throughout the videos, I have also answered questions many of you sent me. Thank you for your interest in my artwork and process!

New "Collision of Space" Series by Alex Curley

I am so excited to release my first round of framed paintings from my “Collisions of Space” series. Each mini painting is signed, and framed with a floating mount. Check out all 10 pieces here. My work acts as a medium to explore imagined intersections of interior and exterior landscapes, presenting a new depiction of space with characteristics of both. In my work, light from windows becomes a reoccurring theme, a phenomenon where light is shaped as it enters our space. This shaped light only exists because of us and our connection to nature. My images are inspired by travel and my experiences of natural phenomena that occur at specific interior and exterior spaces. Through floating, intuitive arrangements of color and form, I attempt to create an impression of somewhere familiar, like a fleeting memory of space once visited or a place once traveled.

Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement of my process.
