How To Make An Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Serena Price


Many people think that making an abstract watercolor painting is very easy because the artist may not seem to look like he is creating anything. Most people think that abstract artists would actually just paint with random colors and at random strokes. However, many people do not know that there actually is a process for that.

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.

Now to start off, one has to look for a subject that interests him so he can make an artwork on it. Now it can be anything from a fruit to a flower to even just a simple chair as long as it does not move around. So after seeing what object is good, then he has to really concentrate fully on the object of the piece.

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.

Upon drawing the object, one may now conceptualize how he will be able to paint that object. An abstract artist thinks differently as compared to regular people which means that he views that object differently as compared to others as well. So basically, he just has to conceptualize how he will put his perception of the object on paper.

Now when he has already conceptualized his piece in his mind, then he may start mixing the paints and water. So in order to start off, one may start the first stroke with any color and let his creativity flow. From there, all he has to do is complete the artwork his own way.

After the first layer of paint, then he can actually add another layer of paint in order to be able to add a little bit more spice to it. Basically, one will be editing the painting and add a little more strokes and colors in order to make it nicer. After that, then he will already have made the finished product.

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.
