    Thanks for this video. I'm new to painting, and blind, and I really want to get into abstract. Knowing the techniques that work well is super helpful, because as you said you have to use technique even in the abstract. I'm only an artist in the sense that I find painting really fun, but I still want to try to produce something cool. So thanks for the clear tips and descriptions.

      I never considered this because a blind painter never occurred to me but I wonder if it might be better to paint abstract without sight which should really provide freedom without being able to judge it. I'll have to try this with my eyes closed but it's probably better to use 2 colors to start. Maybe black & white.

    In elementary school I was, along with a few other students,one of the best artists in my whole class.I would stay in indoors for recess some times just so I could work on a project.When the other kids would come back to class they would gather around my desk to see what I was doing.I got a lot of oohs and ahhs from the students.
    'how do you that, it's amazing?
    I would say "I don't know, I just do, it's a natural talent, I guess.'

  • @KpxUrz5745
    @KpxUrz5745 Рік тому +11

    This is a good synopsis for rank beginners to understand. But in my own view, abstract art is best not approached by rank beginners because there is so much more they need to accomplish first. I have become so picky that I do not really like most of what passes for abstract art. The reason is because I feel that most of what we see as displayed abstract art is, in my estimation, produced to mask the artist's real deficiencies in important artistic skills. Most abstract art is presented as just mushing things around willy nilly, and seeking certain "happy accidents". And this wildness and lack of control is supposed to be seen as "creativity in action". I don't see it that way, but expect much more thought, and real ideas to be behind serious abstract art. Because we see so little of this is why there is so little abstract art I find worthy of appreciation. I'm afraid I take it far more seriously than most existing "abstract" artists do.

      @@FrankCurkovic Thanks for your reply. I have to realize that a lot of youtube art content is intended for young students. I wish that I had had the chance long ago to absorb good art content on youtube. But starting before the internet was another path altogether. Young artists today have many advantages.

    • @hiltonwatkins6750

      Good point. To state it more positively many of these principles apply to any art style… so it doesn’t have to be abstract necessarily. I appreciate going over these types of videos because it keeps me anchored in the very basics that so many artists think are unnecessary and they go off on their own disappointing works…

      This is why *I hate* the acrylic pouring/fluid art scene. Most of it is just colour theory. If it was blocked off with shape elements, or layering I would find it pleasing. No shading, no share, no shadow just cells

  • @puresunrays80

    Downvoted because of the music.
    Tutorials are enough on their own with the voiceover.
    The music alienates a lot of people.
    There are many who will be triggered by sensory overload from the visual, voice and music.
    It's such a shame because it's an interesting video.
    If I, or someone else doesn't mention it, then video creators aren't aware of the problem and can't do something to help in future videos.
