Contemporary Abstracts - Learn To Create Bold & Colorful Contemporary Abstracts
https://www.skillshare.com/classes/Contemporary-Abstracts-Learn-To-Create-Bold-Colorful-Contemporary-Abstracts/105728324
In this class, we are going to create some bold, dynamic contemporary abstracts. I want you to play with color and experiment with your marks. My goal was to create beautiful abstracts with minimal supplies, bold colors, dynamic movement, and rich shapes. I wanted to concentrate on not being too busy. Committing to a theme and creating a series.
We'll start out experimenting with some smaller pieces, and then use those to inspire some larger pieces.
This class is for you if:
- You love learning new techniques for your art
- You are interested in bold contemporary abstracts
- You love watching how others approach their art practice
- You love experimenting with your art supplies
Supplies:
I've kept the supplies pretty simple in this class. I encourage you to use what you have to get started!
- Watercolor paper - I'm using Canson XL Coldpress 140lb. You can experiment with your papers and try out any that you happen to have on hand for this class.
- Acrylic inks. I am using the FW Paynes Gray for my mark-making. You can experiment with a variety of things for mark-making for this class. I like the bold color and marks I get with the ink.
- Acrylic paint in your favorite colors. I show you a variety you might consider.
- Catalyst Wedge or silicone brush. I wanted to try out doing some bold marks for color without using a regular paintbrush. You can use whatever feels good to you when you finish class and get to painting!
- Painters tape to tape down your paper
