Best of BobBlast - Adding Loose Figures to your Abstract Painting
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
In this week's BobBlast, I show you how to quickly place the suggestion of figures in your 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. A good painting has a loud voice!
Paint loudly - add a figure! It adds life to your work.

Are you painting on wood or what?
At any given time, I paint on watercolor paper, directly on wood panels, and canvas.
Loved this so much . This is what real painting is all about - nothing precious going on here, just having a blast and the end result is so unique and wonderful.
Thank you Kate - That's it exactly!
