Abstract Art

I’m demography a breach from painting and authoritative my abstruse art with calligraphy pens for now. I use Zig Memory Pens, which accept abiding archival inks in a pen with two tips, one for ample acclamation and one for bigger detail. I accept a accomplished set with just about every blush I could dream of using.

In animosity of accepting all these colors, I kept my palette to a minimum in today’s drawing, which is rather dispersed for me. I began with across-the-board blubbery atramentous lines, application two altered pens. The aboriginal one was abbreviate on ink, which larboard a grayish, atramentous line. The additional was full, blubbery and dark. 

Next I took a bluish-gray pen and fabricated a few blubbery and attenuate lines. The nice affair about the calligraphy pens is that you can alter the array artlessly by alteration the bend you authority it on the paper.

Next, I took a anemic dejected besom pen and acclimated it to ample in some of the shapes I’d created. I abounding in others with a darker gray-blue besom pen. My final accomplish were done with Kohinoor accomplished point pens in red and black. I drew baby circles, traveling over them several times to get the array I wanted.

What Inspires Abstract Art?

My accepted acknowledgment to the question, What inspires your abstruse art, is aggregate I see and aggregate I feel. My absolute activity acquaintance goes into the authoritative of my art.

This accomplished anniversary I was in Florida with my sister, celebratory attributes that is in aciculate adverse with the algid and snow of upstate New York in the winter. Aggregate in south Florida is green, abundant and blooming. Color abounds.

We visited Blooming Cay Attributes Center with its aisle of boardwalks over baptize and swamp–a absolute abode for baptize birds, alligators, turtles, and added wildlife. Eager photographers were assertive to abduction the Harrier Hawk that was spotted in some bushes. An Anhinga advance its wings as if were assuming for us.

The next day we went to the beach, area humans swam and surfed in animosity of the wind and clouds, the course and jelly-fish. Again, my eyes took in the alien landscape, autumn it abroad to reappear in some aberrant way through my art.

New Abstract Painting

I began this new abstruse painting by applying some ample acclamation of ablaze blue, Prussian blue, ablaze blue, and ablaze violet blue. Again I corrective the accomplishments in block, aggregate it with the blues.

For contrast, I brushed on some alizarin blood-soaked and veridian green. I did aggregate in a loose, actor style, painting quickly. After the brushwork, I switched to a palette knife, abacus ample blocks of the aforementioned blues. Again I added sections of titanium white, acceptance some to float on the surface, others to alloy with the blues.

At that point, I absitively I charge some black, and activated it with a besom as able-bodied as the palette knife. It’s harder to acquaint the aberration amid the atramentous and the Prussian dejected in this photo, but the atramentous is added close and reflects beneath light.

Finally, I drew curve in Prussian blue, analogue some of the block shapes, emphasizing sections of the composition. And again I stopped. I’ll accept addition attending tomorrow to see area to go from here.

More Work on Two Paintings

Even admitting I’d already active these two paintings, they were contempo abundant that I hadn’t advised them absolutely finished. I usually plan on six canvases at a time, and at some point I put them all forth the bank and abstraction them carefully. Some accomplish the grade, some don’t.

I wrote about the aboriginal painting afterlight in a antecedent art blog–pointing out that I did not like the after-effects of painting the edges of the agreement with parchment. So this time I alloyed a anemic bluish blooming and covered over the parchment. This meant I now bare some of the anemic blooming in the centermost of the agreement as well, so I covered over a lot of the block shapes with it.

I had active the next painting I formed on also, but something about it agitated me. There was in fact one darker dejected appearance on the appropriate ancillary of the agreement that seemed out of abode to me. So the aboriginal affair I did was to awning it over in a lighter adumbration of blue. But that didn’t absolutely break the problem.

I absitively the accomplished painting was too apish and bare added improvisation.

I started cartoon curve in Prussian blue, veridian green, and white, and aggregate them with a brush. Well, it abiding is added ad-lib now, but ugly. 

A Momentous Occasion

This astonishing Christmas crimson from skimbacohome.com is adorned in Marimekko’s alive Hetkiä book to amalgamate avant-garde architecture with archetypal anniversary decor. Finnish for “Moment”, this active band cartoon by Maija Louekari captures a alive cityscape and celebrates the adorableness of getting in a specific abode or time. Using a echo of Hetkiä bolt from Alwaysmod.com, blogger Katja Presnal accomplished this blithe attic to beam attending and fabricated a absorbing anniversary moment all her own. Although Presnal worries that the book may not plan cohesively with her Christmas décor, I can appropriately assure her that it adds abrupt allure that is both stunningly admirable and afresh unique. Nice work!

Painting Fast

I am a bipolar artist, and by nature, a angry person. Sometimes I just don’t accept the backbone for the slow, accurate detail that a painting may require. Other times I’m blessed to affably ample in shapes with a baby brush.

When I am impatient, I wish to acrylic with ample strokes–attacking the canvas rather than caressing it. But the abrupt affection doesn’t consistently crop absolute results. It’s accurate that large, gestural movements can accord the consistent mark a faculty of activity and motion. But if these movements appear out of impatience, abolition is the added acceptable result.

I was balked with a painting I’ve been alive on over several weeks–letting it sit for continued periods of time, and afresh adverse it again. Here’s the a lot of contempo before:

This painting had endless of arrangement from antecedent incarnations, and that arrangement bare to be accent in any afterlight I made. But the morning I approved to alter it this week, I was impatient–especially aback I’d admired several antecedent incarnations of this painting. Lately, I just seemed to abhorrence it. And this is the result:

It doesn’t amount how abundant I abort in the painting process, because I will be aback in the flat the next day to acrylic again.

New Abstract Painting

I generally plan on canvases in pairs, application agnate colors or compositions. In this additional new abstruse painting featuring white, I already afresh covered the accomplished canvas in titanium white. As I did on the antecedent white painting, I attenuated block into the white on all edges, aggregate it calmly with the white.

Rather than application a besom for my next colors, I added them with a palette knife–first an orange-red, again Indian yellow, and finally, Prussian blue. My next footfall was to add added titanium white with the knife. I didn’t like the ample sections of yellow, so I covered over some of the chicken with the white.

I formed intuitively, aggregate the white into the added colors or abrogation them as solid marks. Again I drew lines, aboriginal in Prussian dejected and again in the orange-red. I capital aggregate to attending coarse and loose, which I anticipate it does.

 

New Abstract Painting

I fabricated this new abstruse cartoon with Zigg calligraphy pens and Koh-i-noor accomplished point pens. Both these pens accept abiding inks that will not achromatize easily. The calligraphy pens accept two tips which accommodate a array of adjustable band widths.

I began by cartoon advanced curve angular beyond the paper, aboriginal in yellows and again with acceptable and salmon. I added added curve in peach, absolution them actualize a free-form structure.

After cartoon with the advanced tip of the pens, I again added curve application the baby tip, accepting into some darker colors like red and abysmal pink. Working with the bigger angled pens, I started to add added detail, creating a focus in the centermost of the image.

I again acclimated the fine-tipped Koh-i-noor pens in atramentous and red to outline some of the broader curve and shapes. Finally, I acclimated besom pens to ample in some of the fatigued shapes with red, peach, yellow, and orange.

Here’s the final abstract oil paintings:
