Joyful Abstract Poppies
The purpose of this taster lesson is to introduce you to how fun acrylic painting can be. As you learn joyful abstract techniques, you will also gain fundamental skills you can apply to other areas of your creative life. These joyful abstract poppies will establish a foundation of painting for the experience, rather than for the outcome. All of this being said, I think you'll be surprised at how easy it is to create beautiful art and learn that creating abstract art doesn't need to be complicated or mysterious going forward because we're going to discuss what the artist's mindset is and our real creative intentions when we paint.
This tutorial is not an extremely difficult one and it is abstract art, which means that the image representation will be a slight, partial, or complete departure from reality.
I am resolved to do more to help teach art rather than demonstrate how to paint art. So I have included a step by step mini book to help with this. This document is a step by step written description of brushes, colors and mixes, techniques and explanations taken directly from the tutorial. It is provided to you as a resource to assist you in your art journey and is best viewed in outline format to allow for ease in navigation between sections. Link to mini book coming soon
The paints I used for this project are
Cadmium Red Medium
Cadmium Yellow Medium
Phthalo Green
Mars Black
Titanium White
Yellow Ochre
The brushes I used for this project are:
- #30 Extra Firm Simply Simmons Bright Brush
- #8 Extra Firm Simply Simmons Filbert Brush
- #4 The Art Sherpa Round Brush (If you can not locate a #4 Extra Firm Simply Simmons is good too)
In order to paint the background, you'll need a large brush, a filbert medium brush, and a sharply pointed round brush. I will discuss the specific brushes I use and if you use craft or student paint, you don’t require a stiff brush. If you choose to paint with heavy body paint, such as the kind you see in tubes, you may find a firmer brush gives you better results.
Keep in mind that brush sizes are not standard across the art brush industry. The most important thing to look for is not the brand of brush I use, but the shape of the brush head; am I using a bright, or a filbert, or a hog. Brushes get bigger as the numbers get bigger, and it is not uncommon for beginners to fear using too big of a brush. Use what you have, what is most comfortable for you, explore your options, don’t fix what isn’t broken, and learn what works for you.
So gather your supplies and get ready to have a fun and exciting journey through art.
