Key Facts About Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Freida Lamb


Abstract watercolor painting couples the abstract art form with the use of watercolors. With this art type, a visual language incorporating form, line and color lends to a composition that is often separate from the other visual elements of our world. The paints provide a transparent and luminous effect.

With these kinds of work, special paints and paper will be needed, a pencil, one or more paintbrushes and time. As is true of most artistic creations, thought and time are needed. This kind of art project is done by budding, student and seasoned artists.

A common assumption of this art is that anything is acceptable. While this is technically true of any art, it is best to learn more about the method itself, instead of just doing. The visual elements of this form of artwork include one or more: shape, color, line, pattern, texture and form. Essentially, the term abstraction indicates that there will be removal of reality in the imagery found in the piece. This removal may be slight, partial or complete.

There are many techniques that can be used for this painting method, which is known for being demanding. Unlike acrylic and oil paints, this kind of paint does not always stay where it is put and takes longer to dry or require more paint. The inclusion of water plays a major part in this.

The difficulty with this method comes from anticipating the water behavior, instead of trying to control it. Some common paint techniques: washes and glazes, wet in wet, drybrush, mixing and diluting of paints, minimal palettes and lightfastness. All of these techniques can alter the pigmentation, control and overall ease of the overall process.

abstract watercolor painting incorporates watercolors and this form of art. Artists with a range of experience do this type of work. To become better at this craft, it is suggested that people learn more about the art form and the type of medium being used.
