Abstract Original
Creating Your Own Original Abstract Paintings
Original abstract paintings are a specific type of artwork. Many people enjoy abstract art and others find it very puzzling. If you are interested in creating your own piece of artwork then you should think about abstract art. Painting is a great way to embrace your creativity and can be a good outlet for frustrations and stress of everyday life.
Abstract art is a departure from reality. You are not painting that picture but what the scene makes you feel. You can do a complete abstract or a partial abstract. The main works form the expressionistic era were the beginning of abstract art as expressionist painters exaggerated items, used different textures and surfaces and embraced bold colors.
Some of the first abstract artists were Pail Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and Georges Seurat. These painters were key in developing modern art. Some of the first modern abstract works were created in Paris at the start of the 20th century. Some of the earliest famous pieces include French Window at Collioure and the Yellow Curtain by Henri Matisse. Picasso also developed his cubist paintings which are completely abstract.
Abstract are uses strong color and requires a good imagination. The basics of abstract art is the skill to mix different textures, shapes and colors together to represent a particular thing, no matter what it is.
Many artists use different ways to start as they begin based on what is in their imagination or how they are feeling at that moment. For beginners it can be good to focus on a specific object.
Once you have decided on an object then you need to think about it and distort it or look at it in an abstract way. So you may make that object blur, or twist a section of it. Think of two of those objects colliding together. You can also use music to help alter the object. It is the rhythm of music that helps many people. Many times when listening to loud music painters tend to create loud and bright works. Slower music will produce artwork that is more somber and dull.
For those just starting you want to make sure you have all the materials you need on hand. Stop in at a local art store and pick up a canvas, paint brushes and some paint. If you are interested in doing this for a while then invest in some good brushes as there are very important. You can get any paint that you want; a full pallet of color or maybe just focus on different shades of green.
The canvas you paint on is up to you as you can paint on paper, canvas or primed paper. Canvas can be very expensive so for those just starting paper is recommended. Remember that with original abstract paintings there are no rules so you cannot make a mistake. You do not need a plan to start painting you can just go. Real abstract art occurs when you are not thinking at all but your painting takes over.
