iskck4n64njk Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 First shot at abstracts. Are these going anywhere? The yellow one is bullshit but I don't know where to turn to improve it. I get no critique in my town so flatten my ego as you see fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal.method Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I actally left and came back. The yellow one. I dig it. Something about the drips, i think they should stay in the stop(SPOT) you have them, but like.... them seem like they should be brush strokes. Not drips. try a layer of yellow again, then change those to brush strokes...and not black...something just off black that will compliment the yellow..like a dark brown with blues.. IDK just something that my mind ran with. my .2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskck4n64njk Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback. I'm staying with the drips but you're on to something with the brushstroke idea, I'm saving that for later. Working now on fluctuating the background and encouraging movement and arty shit like that The drips were completely unintentional, I got pissed after shaking the fucking bottle of paint for 5 minutes and still getting only red-tinted gel out of it that I just turned the palette over on the (vertical) canvas. I should probably stop painting over new carpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Build in between the two darkest drips and create some sort of minimal, abstracted "H" type pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis and Clark Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 This thread is making me realize how little actual creative ability I've developed. At the risk of repetition: THANKS MAN flick wise yellow is killin the other, but it could be to dark to see all the blending in that other one. i would drop something really dark onto the yellow, dots, lines anything in clean black, thin to thick. and then if you like the black, do some white highlite on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark one is hibernating for now since I can't seem to stop starting new things. Let's see some more work, I'm starting to feel sheepish since my substantial contribution to post quantity ratio isn't working in my favor now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george101 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 First attempt at abstract so constructive critisism would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wase, Nice try for a first attempt but it's a little to symmetrical all in all. Loosen up a bit and let go of the graffiti fades and splatters. Play with the lines and have fun with them. My two cents. Speaking of...

423894 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Might just be me but when I paint abstracts I try to avoid the whole center weighted thing. I try to stick to using thirds. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Never do a number 2 with several different shades of brown, always look like pewp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 If you use shades of brown you have to either construct it in a non organic pattern with hard lines or throw in cool colors. The orangish yellowish areas only heat up the brown, subconsciously placing the viewer in a taco bell bathroom. Can't really explain it without sounding dumb but hopefully you understand I'm not trying to make a joke at your expense. Just throwing in a perspective that you may not have thought about yet. Specific colors & lines all have a basic subconscious language with an almost universal understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Along with what mercer is saying: You should look into the book "the Interaction of Color" It's a great book that will teach you a lot about the subconscious language Mercer was speaking about. In fact many of the exercises in it are non-objective. So in doing the curriculum contained in the book, you will actually come out with some very nice, while formulaic, abstract pieces. If you follow it well, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
