Abstract art and abstract paintings can be difficult to understand.

Florida, FL (prHWY.com) November 8, 2012 - Florida, Nov 08, 2012 - Abstract art and abstract paintings can be difficult to understand. Abstract art and abstract painting are often elusive, confusing, obscure, perplexing, puzzling, complicated, misleading, misunderstood or difficult to understand by the viewer. Abstract art and abstract paintings often exaggerate or simplify the subject of the oil paintings.

Abstract Paintings - Abstract art and abstract paintings are often referred to as Abstract Expressionism art. This method of expression is sometimes referred to as "pure" abstract art and abstract paintings. These paintings do not appear to reflect reality with respect to form or design. One can see color, shapes, patterns and lines as expressed by the artist, but not a clear definition of form. Abstract art and abstract paintings are often completely unrecognizable. So why do the artists express themselves this way? There is more than meets the eye. Take a moment and view the abstract art and abstract paintings in our galleries so you can draw your own conclusions. Enjoy browsing our oil paintings gallery of abstract art and abstract paintings.

When you paint realistic, you need some abstract skills to make good paintings. With an eye for color, composition and form, you can analyze your painting, gain some visual distance to it. That enables you to improve your painting. And in abstract painting, you also need to have some realistic painting skills. The best abstract painters were those, who had an old fashioned training in realistic oil painting techniques.

Even when we make photo's, we don't depict reality or nature 'as it really is'. We choose subjects, lighting, a composition. The same thing happens when we make realistic paintings. The sky is blue and trees are green - in our minds - but a closer look shows that things can have all kinds of colors, and that you can play with the mood of picture by choosing specific subjects, props, or a specific time of the day. This goes even more in realistic painting - you build up all the visual elements yourself.

When we make abstract paintings, there are always elements present that refer to reality, or, our experiences as sentient beings. "up" and "down" are general terms, but they have specific meanings - "down"you expect to find a bottom, something solid, to stand on, and "up" you expect air, and some light. That would be a natural situation. It can be the other way around, of course, but then you have quite a different mood (the perspective of someone hanging from a cliff, staring in a void down below - very stressfull)

Abstract Oil Paintings - Painting a red sky creates drama. And painting blue food creates an alienated, distant and unnatural look. When you take this knowledge into abstract painting, you can make use your work to communicate meaning.

The main difficulty in this is, that it's hard to perceive this natural state. It's what we are. Trying to experience what you are is like: a fish, trying to become aware of the water he's in. But painting is the best way to learn this way of perception. You only have to relate to your canvas, with your own body as referring material. Subtlety is the key.
