Painting abstracts

I attended an abstract watercolor class on July 13, 2014 by Robert Drovak.  Here are a few pices done in the class

This one was done using a mouth atomizer with some crayon resist and a leaf for stencil.

 The one of the right was an exercise was to study color schemes and shapes.

These cards were cut out from a larger painting. For this exercise I painted wet on wet with vivid colors. Added some color and scratches with the edge of a credit card. In the workshop we were asked to find smaller compositions. Each small painting was then finished with a few paint strokes done with a skewer dipped in paint and some toothbrush srpay.

The abstract above was done with a flat hake brush by throwing in paint, wet on dry. some edges weer then softened and some were left untouched.

This one was done by painting on one side and the folding paper to get the symmetric pattern.

The one on the left was the most interesting of the lot. I closed my eyes and picked up my brush. I had no idea what color I was loading the brush with or what stroke I was making! It was all touch and feel....very fun to do, and something that I wouldn't have come up with my eyes open!

This one was done by sprinkling salt onto very wet paint.
