The Basics Of Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Eliza Mendoza


Abstract watercolor painting refers to the art of using colors that are water based so as to express oneself or send a message and it uses lines. For abstraction, the main aim is pass on a message with a visual language. The different designs that are created with the involvement of abstraction appear luminous and transparent and this happens because of the very few types of filler in the pigments used that obscure the colors.

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.

There are several materials required to begin the process and they are indeed readily available at fair prices. These will include a pencil, certain special paints, paintbrushes and papers that can be written on with the paints. If you are to undertake this task, you will also have to allocate a lot of time to it because it requires that you think deeply through the entire process.

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.

The technique is regarded as a vague one. The viewer will interpret what he sees for himself and will the choose what to think about it himself. The act is viewed as a fun one and this could explain why so many people who do it love it and continue to do it. Anyone can test their level of creativity by sketching anything on a piece of paper and with a pencil.

For instance when you draw a forest or a vehicle, they will appear on a mere piece of paper. As the paint lands on the drawing paper, an illusion is created as it goes into the grooves. The main aim of the artist is to make this illusion appear as a three dimensional piece of art.

Doing this helps the image to appear realer than it initially was. This is a skill that calls for a lot of practicing though. It is important that every artist learns and improves their skill. People tend to think that this field is easy but that is not the case because special training and practice is required to create perfection. This can be done online or in art stores where you can find an expert to enlighten you more. Watching videos produced for this purpose could also play a great role in imparting such knowledge.

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.
