Choosing An Abstract Watercolor Painting To Your Home

By Jerri Perry


There is a certain amount of skill that it takes in order to choose out the right piece of art work to properly accentuate you home. With a keen eye, and a sharp sense of style you are sure to be able to find the best abstract watercolor painting to suit your home. Before you begin your search though, you will want to get a few things straight so that you know just what you are searching for.

To start with you will need to consider the colors that you want to be used. These should go well with the rest of your decor and not clash with it. This is something that you want to stand out as the centerpiece of the room not as an eyesore. They don't necessarily need to match the colors that you already have in use but they should go well with them.

There designs can also range greatly from one to the next. Some have very details designs where the artists message is screaming at you from the canvas and you can almost tell exactly what they were trying to convey. Then there are others that are so simplistic and abstract that you may see something different every time you look at it and still have no idea what you are looking at.

The theme of your home will play a huge roll in choosing the one that is right for you. If you have a plain home with very few colors and not a lot of detail then there are two ways you can go. You could choose to continue with the theme you have already gone with and choose something simple, or you can choose to go with a statement piece, a very detailed painting that is full of color and will become the focal point of the room.

The best way to go about getting your artwork is to purchase it directly from the artist. Finding local artists in you area is as easy as heading down to some local galleries and seeing what they have to offer. Alternatively many will have their own websites that you can go and checkout to see what is available.

Searching online is another great way of finding some real gems that you may have not been exposed to otherwise. Most artists have their portfolios available on their websites so you can literally search through thousands of paintings from the comfort of your own home. This gives you many more options than you would have had otherwise and greatly increases your chances of finding the right one for you.

Searching through used furniture shops and thrift stores may be a fools pursuit but you never know what you might find hidden underneath all of that junk. You just might find exactly what you are searching for. The upside to this method is that the cost should be significantly less since you won't be purchasing directly from the artist.

Get a feel for it in your home before making the final decision. You may want to carry a photo of the space where you intend to hang the abstract watercolor painting in, with you as a reference. If you do get it home and decide that it is not right then you may be able to exchange it for one that is.
