 “Everything starts from a dot.”

This famous quote from the Russian abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky can be an inspiration for amateur artists who might wonder if an international art gallery is the right platform for them to participate, as their level of expertise is less compared to art professionals. To get to the end of something, one must start from the very beginning with short but steady steps.

What is Abstract Art?

Abstract art is seen through the lines, shapes, forms, and colors, and does not emulate the visual reality. When traditional techniques blend with innovative ones, an abstract painting is born. It is all about prioritizing the instinct where glimpses of the unconscious expressions can be seen. Non-representational art frees your imagination, beckoning you to move beyond the finite forms by helping you access a truer and purer form of creativity. Feelings can be felt or experienced, but how do we paint them on canvas? We need an outlet, and abstract artwork becomes the best medium that helps in disclosing our unconscious and unfettered selves. 

Origin of Abstract Painting

There is some debate about the origin of an abstract painting. Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian artist in the 19th century, is said to be the pioneer of abstract art who launched this genre in 1911 with his famous painting, Komposition V. This monumental painting was a breakaway from referential content that inspired artists, and one after another, abstract artworks became popular internationally. Like all abstract paintings, Komposition V is not a painting created by observation from nature and doesn’t represent the tangible. So, it’s a depiction of space expressed through the use of colors. A homogenous quality is what makes Komposition V represent the continuous and the infinite.

How to Get Started as an Amateur Abstract Artist?

To understand abstract art, you must know that it is not a random stroke on a canvas. Rather, it’s an expression where your artistic skills unite with technical ones, where perspective, color theory, and composition play an important role. 

Get Started with Scribble Paintings:

If you are familiar with other genres and find abstract artwork an overwhelming process to paint, then you can start with simple scribbles. Just like everything starts from a dot, your final masterpiece can take time to emerge. Scribbles help us to unwind, express our emotions spontaneously, and that is why freeing yourself from the conventionalities of art is what will eventually help you master the art of abstract painting. Overthinking can only deter you from pursuing your creativity with absolute freedom. Therefore, lay down that blob or swatch of color and let your paintbrush glide smoothly. Eventually, with practice, you can master the technicalities, but before that, just paint! As for the canvas, use medium-density fibreboard (MDF) panels and treat them with gesso before applying acrylic paint, if that is your preferred color choice.
