The Basics Of Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Eliza Mendoza


When you pair abstract art and watercolor painting, you get abstract watercolor painting. Abstraction aims at communicating a certain message with a language which you can see by looking at shapes, colors and physical forms. With abstraction, a design is created which is normally transparent and luminous because the pigments that are used have little fillers which make their colors to be obscured.

Basically, artists who are concerned particularly with this kind of art have an attitude that does not conform in terms of art. The main challenge they pose is giving form to personal interpretations of figures which do not have a particular form. This results to one having to think hard about the situation and what it would really mean for him or her.

Performing this activity requires that you have certain materials. The materials are inexpensive and can be obtained easily. They include a special paint, paintbrush, pencils and papers that are compatible with the paints. You will also require plenty of time because it is necessary that you give deep thought to the art you are painting so that it comes out best.

Abstract watercolor painting will normally accept anything. However, all types of arts do so but it is very important that you learn as much as you can concerning the art instead of just undertaking it. Various visual factors such as color and the physical form help the artist to bring out the best paintings. It so happens with abstraction that the reality of the images is removed from the art piece. It can be done partially, slightly or completely.

A lot may be done concerning artwork using this technique of abstraction. Naturally, it is regarded as vague and it is the viewer who interprets the whole image for himself and decides what to think of it. People often find this fun and this is the reason artists involved in this practice love their job so much. You can visit any art store and get sketchbook papers and pencils and try it yourself to see how good your creativity could be.

If you were to draw a certain image such as a valley, it appears merely on a piece of paper. As soon as the paint hits the paper, it penetrates into the grooves creating an illusion. The artist has the responsibility of making that illusion to appear three dimensional.

Once that is done, the image then appears more real than it was. However this skill requires that one practices a lot so as to also improve and sharpen the skills more. One could also attend classes and this could be done through the internet or visiting art stores where you can have one on one lessons with an experts. You could also buy recorded DVDs which contain the necessary information required to improve your skills in drawing.

Abstract watercolor painting can be used to relieve stress from the mind. Some thought and feelings may pile up in the mind and they could lead to stress especially if they are not let out. An individual can let such feelings out by just drawing what he feels as this will act as a form of letting the feelings out.
