first time creating an abstract portrait

I played around with paints today and I've really been loving all the abstract portraits I've been seeing on pinterest... like Yvette St Amant style. practice makes better (bc nothing is perfect) so I'll keep on keeping on! #abstractportrait #acrylicpaints #freestyleart #portraitart #funart

... Read moreAbstract portraiture has gained popularity for its ability to evoke emotion and imagination through non-traditional techniques. When creating an abstract portrait, focus on the emotions you want to convey, rather than striving for realism. Experiment with colors, shapes, and textures, allowing your intuition to guide you. Influential artists like Yvette St Amant have inspired many with their unique styles; by studying their work, you can learn new ways to express yourself. In addition to acrylic paints, consider incorporating mixed media or digital elements into your artwork. This experimentation can lead to surprising results and broaden your artistic horizons. Don't forget to share your creations on social media platforms like Pinterest using relevant hashtags such as #abstractportrait, #freestyleart, and #portraitart to connect with other artists and art enthusiasts. Lastly, remember that practice is key; every piece you create contributes to your growth as an artist. Embrace the journey and enjoy the process of making art!

Do you like to draw or paint abstract art? ~ One thing I love about abstract is that it gives you the freedom to create whatever it is you are feeling. You just trust your intuition, playing with shapes colors and just enjoy the process of being free creating whatever feels right. It’s pure joy! 😃🤗

How To Draw An Easy Abstract Design 🤗💛
I love abstract art because there is more freedom because there are no rules to abstract art. Abstract art gives you the freedom to explore the artwork and assign your own meaning to the piece you are working on. This intensely personal process enriches a viewer's experience of an artwork. T

I made a painting! (Abstract, it sucks)
I made an abstract interpretation of "The Portrait of Lady Campbell" by John Everett Millais. Yes, it sucks, lol. This was my first time using oil paints. To me, it was more of a study on learning how to do it than it was being accurate with it. #oilpainting #oilpaint #art #artist
