Introduction

Bird in a Cage

To start with something abstract, ends with something abstract. The first layer not looking like the outline of a picture. The same layer with some more paint may have the same outline but a new picture you can recognize. The second layer comes from more paint. Don't define until the abstract picture looks final.

Abstract colors, like a yellow bird, or a blue bird, keep an abstract theme for the painting. Abstract is important because it gives you the freedom to keep making accidents. If you pick a brown bird, you may start painting the shape, and the accidental mysterious goes away. A purple bird does not need to be painted over with brown.

A blue bird.

When you see your shape, it should look abstract in shape and color. A bird, but do birds have wavy tails? How many birds are yellow? The birds outside your house are brown but your painting expresses them purple. Small birds get smaller in your painting. The shape is changing. All of the bird is not there. Abstract is like this.

To make your everyday life in your paintings interesting, you should show the figures abstract. How to keep abstract shapes you like? You should stop painting when you like each piece of the canvas. Sometimes you don't have to make a third darker, more seeable swipe layer. More abstract can come from accidental swipes on a good painting to make it look professional. Over time you will get closer to it.

Sometimes picking a lot of colors and brushes that are different help it look abstract. To get farthest away from normal you can go abstract. This gives your painting the clearest look.

If you start with abstract color, abstract brush strokes, and abstract arm motions you can with a pretty, abstract painting. Your life but different. A color change, a shape change you like, a story memory aid. Relive your memories through your painting. Make an across the years collection.

A story for you, a story for your family, a story for everybody.

Share your story from one painting or a collection. Your memories tell a story. Tell one with your paintings.
