Ideas for the creation of abstract art

If you have never thought about the creation of the abstract painting or quite abstract work, but the search of new ideas, there are several ways to think about the abstract work creation.

There are two main parts of the abstract work, in my opinion, and they have the colour and shape. Create abstract painting should be similar to any other point of view of the composition image - use rules that you have been taught as the rule of thirds, the gold and the other to create the eyes for construction work. In terms of their composition, you can use ideas from real life-perhaps of images, magazine clippings, models in materials, floors and nature-inspired you. Use this only as a rough orientation and map, approximate pattern that you want to create in stroked your canvas - you must stick, but it is good to start.

For the color, select your colors in the wheel of color may select similar colors (blue/purple or orange/red) on the same side of the color wheel, or if on the contrary colors such as green and RedPurple and yellow, etc.

There are many vectors, you can use separately or together abstract art form. Perhaps try some mixed media, Collage, or use of watercolor paper, attached to the image. Use of different types of texture to create an interest in images there are many ways to create a structure and ways of application of paint. For example, when you use acrylic paints, you can either apply them directly from the tube or if watered as glaze used. Try using multiple layers and adding icing to the end, perhaps then it off friction when it is partially dry. This can give an altered type of effect. You can sand and part of the image after painting to get a similar effect. Try to use Acrylic Inks for a different effect on the image.

Another option is to hide some areas of the image with the Ribbon to create base colour models, while painting on top. Also things uses such as corrugated card and Mickey immersed in painting and applied to the image to add special effects.

How to paint the background of texture which is ideal for the natûrmorti and portrait

Photo in media landscapes is quite simple. However, when painting still life and portraits background is often a source of concern. Photo in media is a common problem. This article is to use the cheesecloth for the slightly textured background.

These techniques for background will normally be painted before the main part of the image.

How to paint the background of texture using gauze

I like the background of the image, to have a certain texture or delicate colour. This has two advantages.

First by dividing the flat bottom is more interesting photo.

Second if smudge you for a large part of the image is much easier to set the background. When the bottom is flat color, all the background you will need to be painted. With textured background you can touch some areas without the need of repainting the background (often!).

The use of the Stamen is easy

For a background texture interesting, you can use the cheesecloth or chiffon. This technique can be as effective with sailing and lace fabrics. Try experimenting with independent freely have tissues.

Use the fabric as indigov

Start your painting surface spray with water and then place your fabric.

Then wash or use a sponge to apply paint thinned on the fabric. Try not to use too watery painting or it will perform below and you will not get the texture. If this occurs simply everything dry with paper towel and then try again.

Let the paint dry for approximately 10 to 15 minutes (depending on conditions) and then remove the fabric front of painting a completely dry. Printing of the fabric will remain on the merits of drawing.

You can also use the fabric for printing

Another way to use fabrics is to paint the background, and then press the fabric in the surface painted for another type.

In this case, the fabric absorb part of the painting, thicker and thinner, areas to provide a texture.

When I paint in the background

When I painted pet portraits have I found the easiest is to draw in the form of pet portrait and then painted in the background. When using the canvas stretched I also paint the walls of this step.

In this way, can leave most of the remains portrait painted. really textured background painted dense portrait it otherwise.

Then towards the end of the image, I details any context of the areas that need it, and finally some skins painted over the background painting. This small mixtures of these two areas and added to the structure of fur-bearing animals.

It will work also with flowers or other objects that are the main focus of your photo.

Abstract themes

These techniques will be work well for abstract images of painting also. However, in the abstract images, these techniques can be used at each stage. They will be convenient for use after the entire image has been painted to add some additional interest. Then, you can only define areas to be presented.

I.e., painted most of graphic, apply a texture and then highlight some areas after having dried texture. These areas highlight will be a good place to use some acrylic medium to give or glossy finish, or perhaps metal accents.

I hope that you find it useful. There is no good way to paint, just different ideas in order to achieve the appearance you want.

Guide technical advice of acrylic paint and use of marine landscape on canvas painting

Acrylics have been around since the 1950s/60s. They are made from fine -- ground pigment particles suspended in water and bound with a form of plastic. Have a read of the tips below and maybe you'll find that you want to give them a go. They're so easy to use and I love them. If I can use them, so can you. You don't need to spend a fortune to get started. You can find cheap ranges in art shops, but I find the Galeria range are good for starting off with. Use heavy duty watercolor paper or canvas, although you can paint on wood or canvas boards. Well, here goes:

I find it an advantage that the paints dry very quickly. It means that if you make a mistake, you can paint over the layer of paint underneath without it mixing with the new paint.

Make sure you keep a large container of water nearby (ice cream containers are ideal). You will need to make sure that you wash you brushes regularly or keep them in water because if the paint dries on them, they'll be ruined. Another bonus is that as acrylics are water -- based they only need to be cleaned with water and not turps and there is no smell.

Acrylics come in tubs or tubes. You can use it straight from the tube or you can mix it with water to thin it. Only put out paint in quantities that you think you will use because it dries so quickly and you don't want to waste it. You can always squeeze out more.

As the colors in acrylics are quite vivid, I sometimes use emulsion paint as well. As this is water based, I can add more water to give a wash effect, or to perhaps add to skies, seas, etc; it gives a more subtle hue.

Brushes and palette knives can be used. Sable brushes are good quality but are expensive and can be easily ruined. You can get different shapes of nylon and bristle brushes from art shops which work really well for acrylics. I find that cheap, bristle brushes bought from DIY stores for home decorating work really well. They don't leave any brush marks.

Let me go through the process of one of my seascapes as an example.

First of all gather your things; canvas or watercolor paper, acrylic paints, large pot of water, brushes, clean washing -- up cloths, kitchen paper and any emulsion paints (match pot sizes are fine) if you wish to use them.

I buy ready -- primed canvasses with block edges but I need to give them texture for interest. I use some ready -- mixed polyfilla and water it down a little bit. Because I am painting the sea, I need to determine the horizon. I measure down from the top of the canvas and draw across with a blue watercolor pencil. I position a strip of masking tape along the horizon and round the edges with the top of the tape on the horizon line.

Now I take a rubber spatula and spread the polyfilla along the sky in places but still leaving some canvas bare. Try to imagine this as a sky. Try to think of how a sky will look. I always paint the sides of my canvases and in large ones the width of the sides can be wider and I think these look good textured too, so I carry on around the sides, although with small canvases I might not texture those edges.

When this is dry, I take off the tape and then position it so that the bottom edge is on the horizon line. This enables me to texture the rest of the canvas, (i.e. the sea and beach.) Now, if you are doing this, use your spatula to try to create texture which is going to resemble the movement of the sea. You can have great fun with this. Again though, once you start, you have to finish because the polyfilla will dry soon and you don't want to be left with something looking like anything but the sea!

You can add mediums to acrylic paint which make it do different things.

Impasto gel comes in a tube and can be added to the paint to give it thickness. You can create fantastic movement in the seas that you paint. Just imagine stormy seas tossing boats about, or creating the thickness of flowers or leaves or grasses in the fields.

A glazing medium makes the paint more transparent and thins it.

A retarder slows the drying time of the paint.

I always start painting the sky. Position your masking tape across the horizon so that the top edge of it is touching the horizon. The trick is to build up the paint gradually and thinly to start with because it is easier to add paint than to take it off. As some of the canvas texture is still exposed, when it is given a light wash or coat of paint, the texture as well as the thicker texture of polyfilla will give interest.

I choose three colors for the sky. You can always add something else for highlighting later. I would choose a light color such as cream, medium blue and a darker blue, for example. Next I would put an amount of the lighter hue at the bottom of the sky, medium blue above it and two or three dollops of the darker hue at the top.

This next bit is IMPORTANT. As the paint will dry quickly, you want to blend it as quickly as you can. Don't use your brush for this. Take one of your cloths and wet it completely. Squeeze it out till no water is dripping and gently start at the bottom of the sky blending the cream from left to right as you go across the canvas. Don't be shy about it. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes.

You may need to wet your cloth a bit more, or you may not need to. You'll soon get to know how wet it needs to be. Keep on going left to right across the sky and blend in the colors as you go. You should find that there are no brush marks and the sky will begin to look interesting. If you have parts where the canvas hasn't been covered in the sky, wet your cloth a bit and with a tiny bit of paint on it, just rub it in.

You'll find that the sky might need highlighting in places. You can use a brush and blend in with your cloth, but if using a pale color, make sure you don't use a cloth covered in blue paint. Make sure you keep washing out your cloths as you go, to keep them usable.

You might find that you want to add a bit of purple or a green/grey tone in places. The possibilities are endless. You could use part of a wet sponge to give a mottled effect. You can put on a color very slightly with your cloth so that the color below is showing through in places, for interest. Be bold and imaginative. Make sure that you paint the sides, top and bottom of your canvas. This means you can hang it without framing it.

When you're ready to paint the sea, take off your masking tape and reposition it with the bottom of the tape on the horizon.

The same method applies here. Find your three tones of blue/green/grey for the sea. Each seascape is different. You may have a beach to put in. If this is the case, do that part first and then when you paint the sea, remember that the sea will be more transparent by the sand, so you will need to thin your paint and rub it in gently, letting you see the beach underneath. Then work upwards.

If the whole canvas shows the sea and no beach, the darkest, deepest colors will be nearest you at the bottom of the canvas, so with your brush put a few amounts on to the canvas at the bottom, and then as you go further up, add some dollops of lighter tones. Then taking your wet cloth and with a left to right movement, start to blend the paint in. You need to do this as quickly as you can and remember you can wet your cloth more to blend in if needed. You might need a little bit of paint on your cloth to fill in any tiny gaps not painted. Imagine the movement of the sea. What shade the horizon will be. If it is misty will you need a wash over the horizon (made from watering down a small amount of emulsion paint)?

You can highlight some of the textured parts with white or cream to look like waves and add any more touches you might want to.

Voila! You have finished you canvas, although you may want to varnish it. Varnish comes in matte or gloss finish. Are you pleased with it? You should be. Even if you're not, don't throw it away. All you need to do is paint over it, or change the texture with polyfilla and give it a coat of emulsion watered down and start on something else. You have your new texture then.

That's just the beginning. You could paint a series of related themes. If you want to sell your paintings, search for ideas. Do some research to see what is selling. Look at online galleries, look in magazines and notice what designers are coming up with. Are certain color schemes with abstract designs going well, so that they fit in with contemporary furnishings?

What kind of traditional themes are selling? Are animal paintings popular, or portraits? You'll enjoy getting ideas and visualizing what your paintings can look like.
