Want to try pour painting

[Anonymous No.4214610]

But I don't want it to turn out flat or crafty looking. Does any body have tips or advice to share?

I'm always happy to see someone interested in abstract and expressive painting, but sadly ic is much more focused on digital painting, and almost totally dismissive of any style that is not realistic or cartoony.

I'd help you if I knew!

Abstract art isn't real art

Just my .02$ after you do the pour, pick out shapes and forms the present themselves to you. Then add depth by shading with contrasting colors/color variation. You can also do some painting over it to create further layers of depth. Give yourself a refresher on color theory and think about ways to push things back and pull others forward.

I mean, pour painting gives you very nice results if done right, and I have nothing against it, but it's more of a craft than an art. If you want to turn it into an art piece, then you'll have to modify it after the fact. Maybe use the abstract patterns as a basis for a final piece or something.

I feel like the threshhold for abstract art to be real art is ridiculously high, whereas with more "representational" art, almost everything can be considered art. Abstract art HAS to have amazing composition and evoke emotion to even be art at all. So there is basicly good abstract art and abstract crap that isn't even art (99.9% of it)
