Indulge Your Artistic Side With Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Eliza Mendoza


Art is a very subjective thing and different styles appeal to different people. One thing that seems to be universal, however, is that embracing art either as a collector or as a painter is a wonderful way of getting in touch with yourself and your deepest desires and dreams. Abstract watercolor painting is a very fluid and expressive style that many people adore.

Different people prefer different mediums and while oil paint can be a very difficult style and material to get used to and learn, watercolors are relatively easy and very adaptable to the person. Practice is important for the individual to get used to the paint and water balance, as too much water can ruin the finish product. However, it is very fun to practice with.

Many people who start out using these materials find that landscapes are the easiest subject to master first. The watery paint lends itself perfectly to rolling hills, luxurious sea views and the multiple colors of flowers and various different landscapes. If you make a mistake it is barely noticeable and abstract art is more of a matter of personal expression than of covering up mistakes.

After a little practice the natural style of the artist quickly becomes apparent. It is important to recognize this and make the most of it as this is the only way to unleash artistic ability. After landscapes, painting animals is often considered to be the next challenge. Working from a photo or from real life is up to the individual, but focusing on the subtleties of color is a good place to start.

Constructing portraits in watercolors is quite a challenge, but once the artist understand his or her own style it becomes a very satisfying challenge. Practice is essential to move from amateur paintings to true art and once the basics have been established the artist can then begin to play around with abstract styles. Mastering the basics allows the artist to make this step effectively.

Abstract art is often misunderstood by people looking at it without opening up their minds to the possible meaning behind it. It is a very personal style of painting, but it can have multiple meanings, depending on how the individual looks at it. A good abstract artist will understand this and use their experience of the medium to convey their ideals in a way that many people can connect with.

Viewing art is all about interpretation. Each artist brings something different and each individual brings something different when they view it. We all bring our own experiences and perceptions to the table when we interpret art and this is something that the artist needs to consider when they are painting. To leave the painting open to interpretation is essential.

Abstract watercolor painting can be anything from a part time hobby to a very satisfying and successful career. It is important to put the heart and soul into each piece, to ensure that it is filled with emotion and meaning as this will always be interpreted by art appreciators. Those pieces that are superficial are always obvious and few people can connect with them.
