Modern painting comes in many flavors, some appear quite simple why others seem nothing more than the messy spills of a child left unattended. For experts modern art paintings reveal the soul of the painter or make a statement on the artist's vision of humanity. Faking your own modern painting saves money and just requires a little know how.
Instructions
1. Decide on the style of painting you wish to create. Geometrical shapes arranged across a canvas are simple; painting people or landscapes requires training and skill. Paint splatter is more difficult than it looks but with a little practice, you can add considerable color to a room this way.
2. Start geometric paintings by tracing shapes directly on the canvas. Parallel lines are an easy way to begin with colors and shade variations across the canvas, customized to the homes decor. Add circles and squares of different sizes to add dimension.
3. Lay a large canvas on the floor of the garage or other area you don't mind spilling paint. Splatter the paint onto the canvas using varied colors and application methods. Envision the canvas becoming a structured collection of interwoven chaos. The trick to this kind of painting is to control the application and limit the amount of paint on the canvas. Each stroke fits into the whole and despite the appearance, precision is desirable.
4. Incorporate paper such as newspaper clippings into the canvas or add small objects like string or beads. Turn a flat canvas into a 3D painting to add depth with objects that contrast the colors and shapes in the paint. Personalize the work with items that have special meaning to you and paint around them to create a masterpiece for the living room.
