BobBlast 215 "Adding Loose Figures to your Abstract Painting - Part Two."
BobBlast #215
Adding Loose Figures to your Abstract Painting, Part Two
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
In this BobBlast I show you some fun exercises I will do as part of a short Landscape Workshop at the upcoming Trade Shows - Artisan Expo and Art of the Carolinas. The links are below.
The theme for this series of BobBlasts is all about FIGURES... How to quickly suggest the figure in your painting. In the previous BobBlast, we created loose "carrot people" to suggest crowds in a landscape. In this week's BobBlast - Part Two, I show you how I place the suggestion of figures in my abstract paintings.
It's not just the demonstration of HOW I put my carrot people in my pure abstract, loose paintings - it's the WHY I like to add figures. They add heightened clarity to the storyline. I have found that including simple, loose figures while working on the abstract painting, I can paint with a focused goal of how I want the visual statement to look.
To keep me focused, I work in a series - a titled series - like Magic Circus or Lounge Ladies & Their Magic Rabbits. So, as I plan my series, I title the paintings first, again to keep my focus. The painting is done when it clearly resembles the title. That is how I work most effectively and creatively. If my painting is meaningless and has no title or theme, it will be unclear without a strong point of view.
To me, a pointless batch of colors splashed about might be pretty, but will have an empty impact. I always say - A good painting has a loud voice!
Paint loudly - add a figure! It adds life to your work.
