A Deeper Look At Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Eliza Mendoza


Abstract watercolor painting is whereby abstract art and watercolor are paired. In art, abstraction is usually not designed to represent the external realities of the world but it however strives to create a visual language of its own by using colors, textures, shapes and forms. Generally, it can be described as a form of painting that designs images which are transparent and luminous due to the fact that the pigments used contain very little fillers which obscure their colors.

Artists who perform this task are well known for their non-conformist attitude when it comes to art. They normally challenge this when they let you give form through your own interpretation to figures with no particular form. This artwork in effect will make you think hard about what this whole thing really means for you.

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.

Generally, anything is acceptable with this type of art. This applies for all types of arts as well but it is always advisable that you get as much information as you can about the art rather than just performing it. Shape, form, color and texture are among the visual elements of this activity. With abstraction comes removal of reality from the images found on the piece of art. The removal may be slight, partial or complete depending on what the artist wants.

This technique is normally viewed as vague and the person viewing the imagery interprets what he sees for himself and chooses what to think about it. This is regarded as fun and it is probably the main reason as to why people who do this love it so much. If you get a sketchbook paper and pencil from any art store, you can also test how deep your creativity could go.

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.

This effect is what makes the drawing appear real but in order to do this, a lot of practice is required. One could improve their skills by attending classes. These classes will include learning from the internet or physically attending a class to learn one on one. This could be in places such as art stores. Some artists also record their teaching lessons on DVDs and sell them.

If you have some stressful feelings that have bothered you for a long time, you can eliminate them using abstract watercolor painting as well. You just have to draw what you have been feeling and you might get some good results by getting it out. Some of these feelings can be very dangerous and disturbing if they are not let out.
