The Principles 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.

When you pour the paint onto the canvas, it is known as fluid art. Like the name suggests, the paint will be watery. However, you also have to know what the right consistency is and you need to find that right recipe for this. There are also techniques for this. It will result in a marble like effect. People often go one step further creating another design with this method.

Some abstract artists use more dramatic colors. They will use hues which are deep and contrast one another. For example, a black background will be painted with bright colors in the foreground, making use of a unique design. Other artists will create something that is more subtle. It will be more tranquil when certain colors are used. Pastel hues will create a sense of peace and serenity. An ocean scene will work well in a case like this.

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.

When artists decide to paint, they will need to decide on the best medium. This can be oil paints or pastels. It can also be acrylics. Realistic artists will often turn to oil paints. Abstract artists often use acrylics. There are many different techniques that can be applied when you are using acrylic paints. You can also use oil paints on top of the acrylics.

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 obviously have to be careful when you are choosing abstract art for your walls in terms of decor. You wouldn't want something too dramatic for your bedroom when you have a sleeping disorder. A living room which you want to relax in will need something more tranquil. This is where you have to choose something that contains pastel hues within the piece.
