An Overview Of Acrylic Abstract Paintings

By Joseph Bell


Many people think that abstract paintings are easy to paint. Folk may think that you simply need to apply a couple of different colors with splashes here and there. However, there is so much more to acrylic abstract paintings than simply flicking your paint brush around. You have to think about what you are doing all the time.

Of course, this doesn't apply in every case. There are also people that prefer the realistic form of art. People also find that semi abstract paintings can be effective in their homes. You will be able to make out portraits or landscapes in an abstract way. Famous people are depicted using different colors. This has become very popular.

There are also different styles of abstract work that you can pick out. You may even notice that a certain artist has been working on something by the way in which he or she paints. They will use certain colors or techniques. They will focus on themes or they will create a specific mood. People may be drawn to particular artists.

A lot of people by a painting like this because it creates a certain type of feeling for them. It can make them feel peaceful. It can create certain types of memories from the past. They may just enjoy the colors and the design. A lot of people collect art and this is like an investment. There are famous abstract artists who have made a name for themselves and many more are emerging.

You will also create a lot of great effects when you paint in layers. People will paint on the canvas using different colors. They may blend colors in. They will also just use one color and allow this to dry before adding another color on top. When you spray water on top or you scrape a section off, the layer underneath will be revealed.

You need to understand more about the color combinations. You have to use texture appropriately. People shouldn't forget about the line and the focal point which is very important. When a painting has too much inside it creates chaos. It becomes too busy. This is something that you will want to avoid.

Acrylics dry very quickly. This can be a negative aspects because you have to work quickly. However, many people will find this to be a bonus because they want to work quickly and they don't have to wait a long time for the paint to dry. They can mix the acrylics with other things like gesso and modelling paste. You can water down the paint and this will allow it to have a runny consistency.

You can also focus on using colors that are suitable. For example, you have to know what colors red go with. Colors that clash are going to ruin the painting. Many people also are not sure where to apply texture. Too much texture does not work well. It is better to apply this in one area, such as to the focal point. This will draw the eye to this area and help it to stand out.
