Learning More About 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.

The artists who involve themselves with this practice often have a non-conforming attitude when dealing with art. They normally pose a challenge of giving interpretations of figures that have no particular form. As a result, the person will give deep thought to that situation and try to figure out what it really means 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.

The general assumption of such an art is that anything can be accepted. Technically, this is true for any type of art but it is always best that you learn more about the method itself instead of just doing it. Visual elements in this practice will include factors such as color, shape, pattern, texture and the general form. The imagery on the art piece does not reflect reality as it is removed from it. This is what is called abstraction.

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.

Anything you sketch on the paper appears on the paper like a normal drawing. The moment your paintbrush comes into contact with the paper, the paint penetrates and causes an illusion. The aim of the artist is to now make that illusion to look three dimensional. This effect is what every artist tries to achieve so as to please those viewing his art work.

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 are under stress, you can release it thanks to abstract watercolor painting. Feelings which remain in the mind and are not let out are a major cause of stress. People with such problems are advised to draw or paint their feelings as this acts as a means of letting them out.
