Knowing More About Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Katelyn Buckner


People are always looking for art work to put in their homes, which is a little out of the ordinary and abstract watercolor painting is one of those things. A lot of people are used to seeing oils around and want to see something else. This is where a medium like this is something to marvel over.

Many people would say that this style of art is not a trend or a craze because there is logic to it. You can identify this form of work by looking at the method that was used. You will certain, shapes, colors and textures, which is associated with this art.

There are a lot of people who find that modern art conveys a particular meaning, which is often cryptic. This is something you don't get with the conventional style. There is the debate that this is just about slapping on a couple of colors to your canvas sheet.

You will probably see something, such as red, yellow and orange as well as a dark tone like brown. These colors are used on each of the shapes that have been drawn earlier. The finished product can be shown from any angle and will still look good to the viewer.

Most people who enjoy this style of painting will be more familiar with oils, which is a different way of painting altogether. With this medium, you will find more colors used a lot of time and you will normally find that the artist has not worked according to a plan. There could also be a cryptic meaning with this type of art.

More and more people are beginning to appreciate this form of work. Conventional painting used to be more popular and a lot of people referred to modern art as something done by kids, but times are definitely changing. This is evident by looking at new advances in abstract art.

In addition to this, if you go for lessons, you will find that there is a specific way in which you mix your colors. This will create analogous colors, which makes the work stand out as it should. Most people opt for watercolors because it is not going to set them back financially either. If you look at oils, you will find that there is a hefty price tag attached.

The fact that the equipment is a lot less expensive makes it that much easier for the budding artist to start off with. It is also easier to sell something because you don't have to set your price as high. Investors of art will find that this is an area worth looking into. It is always worth exploring new avenues.

Colors are minimal. You may use a red, combined with yellow to make orange, including the yellow and orange in each design. You may also want to use a color that is darker as well, but you wouldn't normally use more than four or five shades altogether.

Abstract watercolor painting has definitely taken off in a big way all of a sudden. Although art forms come and go, many people say that this one is here to stay for some time. More and more artists as well as collectors are seeing the benefits that it has to offer.
