Finding The Right Abstract Watercolor Painting For Your House

By Jerri Perry


When it comes to choosing art pieces for your home finding the right ones can be a challenge if you don't know what to look out for. Choosing an abstract watercolor painting to go with the rest of you decor is a great idea as long as you choose the right one. There are several different factors to consider when it comes to finding a painting that will suit your home.

The color scheme does not necessarily have to match that of your home but they should complement one another. Finding the right colors that will add to your home rather than stand out as an eye sore takes a little practice for some people. If you are concerned that you don't have the eye required to spot these subtleties than you might just want to enlist the help of a few friends to get a proper consensus.

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.

Trying to coordinate your painting with the room that you intend to put it in may not be the best way to go. Because the range of art that you can find is so large you can pretty much do anything you want with it. If your room is plain and simple adding a funky, large, and colorful piece right in the center of it will create a nice focal point in the room.

Purchasing directly from an artist is the best way to directly support the arts. You can do a search on the internet to find artists in you area that may be able to provide what you are looking for. Alternatively, you may want to check out as many galleries in your area to see if there is something there that you may be interested in.

Finding one online is always a great way to go. There is a large variety of artists on the internet who are willing to sell their art at very low costs compared to galleries. If you can't find what you are looking for there then perhaps you could describe the painting that would best suit you to one of the many talented artists out there and see if they are able to create it specially 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.
