Unleash Your Inner Artist With Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Eliza Mendoza


There is something invigorating about getting in touch with your artistic side and whether you have any natural talent or not, paintings will help you to understand a little more about your personality. Abstract watercolor painting can be whatever you want it to be, whether you are a collector or an artist yourself, so why not embrace it.

Choosing watercolors as a medium is a popular option for many reasons. It is an easy paint to use because it is water soluble, as the name suggests. It is also relatively cheap to buy and requires minimal materials to take it up as a hobby. It also allows the expression of the individual artist to come across, without any professional training needed.

There are many artists who prefer to do landscape paintings in this medium because it lends itself to it very easily. The sweeping lines match the landscape perfectly and because of the high water content it can become an abstract image with very little effort. This is often the way that artists discover their love for this style of painting, purely by accident.

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.

The portrait is where the water color artist really comes into his or her own. Playing with colors and the contours of the face is one way to really get to know a person's look and the individual's style will naturally come out in this type of piece. However, practice is essential. At first it can look a little childlike but with time the paint strokes will become more professional and expressive.

To master the abstract requires a little internal insight. The artist will have to look within themselves to understand the message they are trying to convey in their painting. The emotion of the artist needs to be transferred to the piece through the paint and the individual strokes. It takes a lot of time to develop this and focus is essential.

Ultimately a good painting will mean something different to every person who studies it. Everyone brings their own experiences to a painting, whether they are observing, collecting or painting it and abstract painting truly embraces this. By learning the basic rules and styles of watercolor, the talented artist can learn to bend these rules to conform with their personal needs and visions.

Abstract watercolor painting can often seem simplistic in style, but that is the true beauty behind it. Anyone who tries to duplicate that style will quickly realize just how difficult it is to create. However, once it has been mastered it becomes like second nature and the artist gets great satisfaction from putting their ideals onto the canvas.
