Discovering How To Create Landscape Abstract Paintings

By Brenda Davis


The most important lesson an emerging artist or painter can learn is that while you can use a model, it is not necessary to paint exactly what one sees. For example, when it comes to Landscape Abstract Paintings, there are many variables one can use to make the art more creative. In some cases, this may be using animated features. In others, it can be to paint in a way which leaves a great deal of interpretation to the viewer.

The content for abstract painters often comes from a model whether a landscape, individual or object. In creating this style of artwork, most prefer to use a combination oil, color mixing and acrylic. While abstract most often refers to paintings, there are a number of mixed-media and 3-D artists whom also use the term.

Most modern painters and artists find inspiration in everyday life. Whether drawing from life experience, fiction, non-fiction, poetry or prose, the outcome is often the same. For, the outcome is often a piece which leaves viewers questioning the inspiration and meaning behind the art.

Individuals can often find art classes in a number of different locations around the world. In addition, there are also a number of online classes offered, many which use YouTube videos as part of the coursework. One such class is offered by Brian Ryder. Whether a natural and able to pick up a paintbrush and begin painting or one whom needs more direction, these classes can often be beneficial.

In Ryder's Beyond Realism and other classes, students often learn about color, composition, methods, moods and attitudes. In class, the teacher paints along side the students so that it is possible to see how a field of poppies later actually pops with abstract color and features. After which, students are often able to repeat the process using various models and tools.

In most classes, the teacher will provide information on how to use layering to create paintings in this genre. Layering is a method used in conjunction with various shapes and colors. Whether training on YouTube or attending a class, it is essential that students pay attention and do the work as instructed. Once having taken a video course, those looking to study on a long-term basis can find a number of free offerings on the Coursera and edX websites.

The Artist Network provides a website with information on classes, including a full length video, reviews and testimonials from current and former students. In addition, the site provides a materials list for students wishing to view the classes or create more art in the genre. One of the most important examples on the website is that of wet-to-wet versus dry-on-wet painting styles along with information on the best techniques to use when creating this type artwork.

While classes can often be beneficial, most artists learn how to create bold shapes, sizes and colors over time. As such, while the painting of poppies often used in class may pop with color, it can also be good to use other shapes and sizes in the process. For, the more creative an artist can be whether with regards to a landscape, individual or object, the more attention the piece generally receives from buyers, galleries and museums.
