How To Make An Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Serena Price


The process of making an abstract watercolor painting is actually quite a long one because one has to paint a certain object in a different light than what most people see. Contrary to what most people believe, abstract art does have meaning behind it but it will take a different kind of brain to decipher the meaning. Just for those who do not know, here is how this kind of art is created.

Of course before anything else, one has to first go to the art store and buy some of the necessary things. Now the very first thing that one will be ending would be some brushes and some paints to start working. From there, get a cup, fill it up with some water and set up a canvas in order to start working on the artwork.

The very first step in this process would be to look for an object that will be the object of the artwork. Of course one may choose what he would want as an object for the artwork as long as it does not move at all. When choosing the object, one has to make sure that he has a certain connection to that object so that he can actually paint it.

Now if one is just a beginner, then he it is actually best that he would first create a point of reference that he can follow. In order to create this point of reference, he would have to first lightly sketch the object on to the canvas so that there may be something to follow. Now if one is already a seasoned painter, then he may skip this step as he would already know how to paint directly.

Now the very next step would be to take a close look at the drawing of the object he made. Conceptualizing is very important as this point because the artist will now be trying to visualize the outcome in his mind. So all he has to do is to think about how he perceives the object and then put it down into the canvas.

Once that is done, then he can start mixing the paints and start working on the project. Of course he may start with one stroke of any color and just let his creative juices flow out. Of course the strokes that he will use would be based on the light drawing that he made a while ago.

Now the last step of the process is the editing of the work and the adding of extra layers. Editing is very important because it is the last step before the perfection of the painting. It is here that one may add some finishing touches as well as some extra strokes and colors to make the artwork look really beautiful.

So if one would follow these steps to making an abstract watercolor painting, then he may come up with a beautiful finished product. Of course he has to go through a process of conceptualizing before he comes up with a finished product. As long as one follows the process, then he will not have a hard time starting from scratch.
