The Basics Of Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Eliza Mendoza


When you pair abstract art and watercolor painting, you get abstract watercolor painting. Abstraction aims at communicating a certain message with a language which you can see by looking at shapes, colors and physical forms. With abstraction, a design is created which is normally transparent and luminous because the pigments that are used have little fillers which make their colors to be obscured.

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.

The materials required to begin this process are not expensive and they can be easily acquired. You will need a variety of special paints, a piece of paper that is compatible with those paints, a pencil and paintbrushes. This piece of art also requires a good amount of time as you give deep thought to every piece. It can be done by all types of artists including seasoned and students.

Abstract watercolor painting will normally accept anything. However, all types of arts do so but it is very important that you learn as much as you can concerning the art instead of just undertaking it. Various visual factors such as color and the physical form help the artist to bring out the best paintings. It so happens with abstraction that the reality of the images is removed from the art piece. It can be done partially, slightly or completely.

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.

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.

Once that is done, the image then appears more real than it was. However this skill requires that one practices a lot so as to also improve and sharpen the skills more. One could also attend classes and this could be done through the internet or visiting art stores where you can have one on one lessons with an experts. You could also buy recorded DVDs which contain the necessary information required to improve your skills in drawing.

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.
