What Defines Good Abstract Artists

By Brenda Miller


Most of us know that one person, who doodles and draws on any clean surface. Sometimes, what they draw might be easy to understand like a landscape or a plant, but other times, it might be a series of lines or dots, which are confusing to look at. If they fall into the latter category, they can hone their skills and join the league of exceptional abstract artists. However, apart from the ability to draw well, they still need other additional qualities.

When you are starting out, consider taking some classes, or interning under an experienced person. This will allow you to develop your skills, and gain confidence in your skills. If you are concerned about financial security, start out as a part-time painter. Then when you are sure you can make enough money from, switch to doing it full time.

Most artists normally paint in series. This way, when you look at the painting you can see a general idea throughout all their works. With abstract work, this might not seem possible, but you need to try your best to do this. Sometimes, you might choose to vary what you paint to avoid being too predictable.

In order to create original pieces, you need to tap into your creative side. This might sometimes require drawing inspiration from other sources, but ensure you do not duplicate the work of someone else. Continuous practice will help you identify a style that is uniquely yours, and that will help your audiences easily identify your work.

Abstract paintings, generally, have many layers to them. In order to do this and not mess up the result, you need to be very good at manipulating your mediums. Most experts advise choosing one set of materials and then fine tuning your skills, using them. However, you are not prohibited from mixing them up every once in a while. This will make it easier to create the layers, and have different textures.

When you think of this a business, you might view other artists as competition. However, you should socialize with them frequently. This way, you will know what is happening in the Los Angeles, California art scene, and it will also allow you to see what other people are doing. Every good artist has a mentor who they look up to, and a benefactor who supports their cause. Networking will be a good way to get these people.

If you are planning to make painting your sole source of income, then you have to be very careful about how you charge for your services. The materials you use, the time you spend, and even your skill set all need to be considered, when you are setting your prices. The charges will also be different if you are planning to use an agent to do the sales and marketing for you.

A large number of people might not understand your work, and you might be surrounded by critics more often than you would like. You have to be very thick-skinned in order not to let this affect you. You also need to learn how to learn from this criticism.
