Abstract Painting using AquaColour


The inspiration for this practical came from abstract art from the 1920's - 30's in Weimar Berlin. Such artists as Jackson Pollock and Otto Dix focused on abstract art as the art movement continued. Below is my interpretation of abstract. 

For this you will need: 
- Kryolan Aquacolour Palette
- Water
- Different brushes to create varying strokes.

I chose to use the colours gold, silver, red, blue and black. I started by placing gold around the structure of the face and then filled in these lines with silver to highlight.

The next stage was to add some red into the face. I decided to brush this colour around the face in different strokes.

I then added black around the eye area in flicks to create some texture on the face. I feel that the black leads your eye to the gold which outlines the structure of the face.

Next blue was added around the eye to compliment the models eye colour. These lines bring the eyes into the abstract shapes I was trying to achieve.
