I tend to either draw or paint the essence of whatever form I may be thinking about or have a visual of... Pegasus may only take three lines, the sun a curve or golden colours throughout, odd geometric shapes of colour have represented my garden in full bloom, but bore no resemblance to a single flower... Very good question Elise; it's like a little nudge to open up my sketch book and get out my water colours! I am wondering who you admire in the realm of abstract art... Peace, Laurie
Thanks for sharing your process with me Laurie! I think I kinda do the same thing. I don't really have any specific abstract artist in mind, I just like to play with color a lot. I've always admired van gogh and monet- even though they are not abstract, but they did such a good job of creating a feeling in their work. That's what I like about it :)
Those are very pretty!
