abstract thread

[Cannelle]

Need to express your self with shapes and colors ? this thread is for you ;)

I start with this colorful piece.
I like to paint and not knowing where it will go.

[Lee]

Dear Cannelle, lots of fun!! looks like those mettalic party balloons floating around, good job!:)

[Dany51]

How joyful colors Cannelle and what a good idea with this abstract thread,
I hope that artragers will like it.
Here are my contribution to the abstract thread .:)

[orbital_chiller]

Here my modest contribution...

[pai]

These are all very nice abstracts. I like them. Not sure if this can call abstract...

[Dany51]

As we are in sunday, the good time in doing abstracts_doodles.:)
I like playing with colors.
J'aime bien jouer avec les couleurs.:cool:

[Cannelle]

Hi all,

thank you for following this thread.
I like to see your mood with these paintings.

Pai, how do you do to mix the colors ? when I use the knife, It's not as smooth as your paintings... do you use a lot of diluant ?

[RashaTaha]

I don't know if this is abstract but it's something.

[pai]

Hi Cannelle, mostly I will select the same range of color (i think call same scale) and use the edge palette knife with very low pressure and then mostly blend with soft palette knife.

There are lots of tutorials in this Tips and Tricks. Here are just few ones that related to blending. You may want to try out. Hope it helps.

Paint more and mostly have fun with Artrage. :)

[pai]

normally i will do this first as a warm up ...just simply let the hand flows and the color in my mind just splash out.....ha..ha.

[sandyg]

keep them coming , I love all these different styles and colour.

[pai]

abstract time...

[RobertSWade]

I almost never look in here but what an interesting collection of images. :)

[weembaman]

Never tried thios before,it's kinda fun....:)

[monicka84]

Trying this at 3 AM, hmm :D that's a challenge

Up the stairs the open mind, the colorsthe unkown universe that observeshow is builtthe colective conCIENCia

[Rob in Denver]

Fun to look in here, enjoyed them all, and wanted to add a couple, one that I posted badly and want to try again, then another just for fun.

[Rob in Denver]

Then just for fun. I called it "Party worms". Maybe not abstract, but nonrepresentational at least.

[coops]

Thats great Rob, it's a bag of childrens sweets, it firework night, its, its heck so many things, well done.

[Rob in Denver]

Thanks Coops, its a bit more exuberant than my usual! Makes me grin to see it.

[pai]

All these new ones are interesting, colorful and very creative. Most important I can see the fun of making them. Very nice ones. :)

Here is my try again. One is oil and one is airbrush.

[Rob in Denver]

I like these alot Pai! The first one, I could imagine as a HUGE painting, maybe 6 feet by 12 feet--that would be very cool.
I like those burnt edges on the 2nd, and the mysterious feel of the piece.
As always, great work you do!

[pai]

Thanks Rob for the nice words. :) Most of the time when I paint, I picture the painting on a very very large canvas..ha..ha. I am happy you can view that too. I also like the last one too. It's kind of illusion feel to me like your "party worm".

[weembaman]

I saw this on my last astral trip around the moon...This was on the back side...

[weembaman]

I started painting and this appeared on the canvas....??

[pai]

Weebaman, these are beautiful abstract paintings. I especially like the Craters one and your use of color of it. More. ;)

[juliediane]

It says it all.


Hugggggggs, Juliediane

[jbyrjbyr1]

Playing in AR with no specific goal in mind can be quite freeing. JB

[weembaman]

These should be viewed in a large size...:)

[jackie0109]

That painting reminds me of "The Scream"

[weembaman]

Sometimes if you look at a picture long enough it seems to come alive....BEWARE..!!

[juliediane]

??????? Isn't an abstract what is in our subconsious mind ???????

[narf]

Ha ha! Well done 2 paintings.

I will paint that on my wall.

[sandyg]

Great Images every one.
I called mine bright entanglement.

[juliediane]

It's a bird......it's a.........

Yea......it's a bird.

[Peter Pinckney]

here's my offering

[Peter Pinckney]

second one from me

[Peter Pinckney]

electric blue abstract done in the 200 zone

[sandyg]

Great abstracts, the second one is my favourite, it looks very complicated, it's very colourful, good work Pete.

[pai]

So many different and amazing abstract paintings. I like them all. :)

weembaman, i really like the ones jumping out in the gallery. unexpected.:)

...these days my mind has been wandering everywhere...so i just let it be..

[weembaman]

Very nice...Your paintings are a joy to look at, thank you for showing them..

[Vasilenko]

Wow! I'm new here and what a joy for my eyes! :p

[Vasilenko]

Here it goes mine, Cold Fusion

[screenpainter]

What a great thread. Pai, amazing works. Many great abstracts by all of you. Welcome Vasilenko... splendid job... intriguing image somehow between sculpture and painting.:)

[Vasilenko]

Thank you, Gzairborne. It's a lot of beautiful abstracts here and Pai... wow!

[Dany51]

I alway like your work Pai, nice one.:)
Welcome Vasilenko, interesting abstract modeling.:)

[Dany51]

Here are one of my last doodles abstracts.

[sandyg]

Lovely abstract Dany, love the bright colours, really nice piece of work.
Cold Fusion, great, hello Vasilenko, welcome to the forums and a happy new year.

[Rob in Denver]

Catching up on the recent posts here--such great work from everyone!!

[wenkat]

Hi,
At the outset, my hearty New Year Greeetings to you all!
I am a newbie here; I usually post my images in the Galery. I happen to see this thread and found very interesting.
Here is my stuff (done with ArtRage 2.5) and I request for your C&C.

Wenkat

[Vasilenko]

Wenkat, in this abstract I see the girl playing with bubbles. :p

[wenkat]

Thanks Natalia!

23531

Wenkat

[Vasilenko]

And another one! Love Artrage and love metallics!

[sandyg]

Great abstracts, keep up the good work.

[Vasilenko]

Wenkat, your abstracts with human forms inspired me.
Here is mine, I called it 'Passion Dance'

[Vasilenko]

And one more. I got the oil colors from the tube, the colors I think go well together, I put them in chaos on the paper and started to doodle with palette knife, no layers, no eraser and this is what I got. I called it 'Flesh'

[coops]

I think your paintings are great Vasilenko. I love the figures in them, must give it a go.

[DaveRage]

Great thread, and paintings! These are really fun to look through. Just put up a link from the ArtRage homepage to this :)

[PowerBomb Yo]

I haven't been able to pull any creativity together lately so this was nice to just have some quick fun with.

[Vasilenko]

Congratulations to all artrage abstracts maniacs! We are on the first page!

Thank you, DaveRage

PowerBomb, your colors and the concept are awesome!

[pai]

Vasilenko, I really like your two scruplture-liked creations. The color and movement are beautiful.:)

Dany, your abstract is so romantic and feel like impressionist painting. :)

Wenkat, nice warm and soothing color and movement. :)

PowerBomb Yo, welcome. glad you are having fun in your first piece. Very brightful one, like snowball fall from sunny day. :)

...then..more..more..

..here is one more in 10 mins..abstract mood...ha..ha..

[Vasilenko]

Thank you, Pai.

And this is doodle-doodle-kaboodle... and it's a rose! :p

[wenkat]

Thanks Pai for your comments!
Natalia, very very remarkable stuff you;ve been posting! Keep the good work!

[ArtNuovo]

My contribution to the abstract thread. It's called IX3.

[Someonesane]

I've never been very good with abstracts and don't do them very often, but here are a couple I've done.


http://www2.ambientdesign.com/gallery/files/3/3/4/2/abstract.jpg



http://www2.ambientdesign.com/gallery/files/3/3/4/2/ball_study_dec_22_2008.jpg

[pai]

Vasilenko, so beautiful roses and i like the strokes you made on them.:)
Very modern abstract movement, wenkat. Look likes those hang in gallery.:)
ArtNuovo, I think besides your amazing comic strips, I think your abstract is awesome.:)
I really like the first abstract painting a lot, Someonesane. Those shapes and color palette combined so well with your texture background. :)

...another one..just simply let the movement and color flow as usual...nothing in mind...just splash it..

[pai]

...one more fun..

[wenkat]

Fantastic digi E1!

23615

Wenkat

[weembaman]

Pai..
That last one is Fantastic and would look great as a wall size painting...Very nice...

[Vasilenko]

Someonesane, very nice abstracts and very good ones.
Wenkat and Pai, you both are masters of color.

Here is one mine in geometric shape

[Vasilenko]

And this one is dedicated to Artrage

[Dany51]

Is nos so abstract as is dedicated to Art Rage, but is beautiful.:)

[screenpainter]

been messing with these for awhile now... glad this thread is here to give them a home. :)

[pai]

Thanks Weembaman and Vasilenko :)
So many beautiful on new additons.
Vasilenko, the Artrage one is brilliant. I like it.:)
...and Albert, you should not hide yours, I like them. They have something more in it than just color and movements. :)

...doing one to loosen my mind on other paintings...

[Rob in Denver]

I love so many of these. Vasilinko Artrage should use your painting for their Logo, I think it is great for that, Gzairborne I loved looking at yours, and Pai,
only you could make me sit and stare at an egg ( or maybe it is a stone-it doesn't matter)! All the rest, I loved all of them.

[Vasilenko]

Gzairborne, beautiful abstracts! Pai, your sense of paint mixing and the egg form is superb!
My Art. painting, if the ArtRage team want it, for logo, online banner or whatever, I give it to them, even have file with no signature and no writing on it, so it's possible to change the font or add the writing. I'm glad you like it. :)

And it's just a joy to see all the abstracts in this thread, so many colors, styles and concepts or no concept at all but you can feel the movement and the colors, shapes... it's a great inspiration.

[pai]

Thanks Rob and Vasilenko. :) Wonder what will come out from that egg.....

....maybe the egg came from here...an abstract land..that will start the living life..

[irishrose]

Wow, Pai, this is a great thread... gets me motivated again!

Welcome Vasilenko! You have the greatest shots there! The Ragers must be beaming! Love that one with the Logo! :) They are ALL winners in my book!

Wenkat... great to see you here!!!! :)

[Vasilenko]

Thank you, Rose. Pai, keep going with this fantastic story about the egg. ;)

[wenkat]

Marverlus stuff from Vasilenko and PAi!

[EMOC]

my first posting...

[sandyg]

welcome to the forums EMOC, a very good abstract.

[Ana12Ply]

:p

one of my first paints.

[weembaman]

I was just watching TV and playing around with nothing special in mind...

[wenkat]

Good stuff from E1!

23757

[pai]

weebaman, your nothing special in mind actually came out quite special image. Like those eyes of forest apes. :)

wenkat, the color palette in your last one is beautiful. :) what is E1?:confused:

[pai]

...need some color bubbles...

[weembaman]

I like the bubbles floating along on the wind currents..

[sandyg]

weembaman, you must have been watching Attenborough, I agree with Pai, it's like an ape, the second one is very delicate.
Like those coloured baubles Pai.

[Dany51]

Dear Pai, I adore your bubbles, they look almost like grapes;
the soft shades in it and the three dimensional look are magnific.
All your work is much better lately, do you work only with AR2.5 or you used painter or some different soft ?
really very, very good.

[wenkat]

Nice digi from Pai!

[want2paint]

Hi everyone and welcome to all the new members.
I haven't posted anything in a while.
Here's an abstract that I painted earlier and thought this is the perfect place to post it.
I used pencil, glitter, eraser, tube-paint and pallette-knife tools:

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/sis_Om-AbdulRahman/ArtRage/Abstractmetallic.jpg

[hala]

such wonderful abstracts..Im also going to try my hand at abstract painting today..:)

[hala]

dont know if i can call this an abstract..anyway this is my play with colors..

[Vasilenko]

'Technocracy' :rolleyes:

[weembaman]

Was playing around with the pallet knife...

[Vasilenko]

Thick oil and palette knife, aren't they wonderful?! :p

[wenkat]

Yes, they're Natalia! Your 'Technocracy' came out beautifully!

23843

[pai]

Thanks Sandy and Dany for liking the bubble-grapes. :)

@Dany, no, I don't know other programs you mentioned. I only know Artrage.

So many new additions. Very colorful shapes and strokes. I really like them all. To me, color play is fun. :)

[wenkat]

[EMOC]

colour play

[sandyg]

Emoc your colour play reminded me of flames, great.
Vasilenko your tube and metal play, great work.
hala I liked yours as well.
weembaman your play with the palette knife turned out great.
To any I've missed great work, this is a great thread for looking through, thanks to all.

[Vasilenko]

EMOC, beatiful colors-flame painting! :)

[pai]

wenkat, that's beautiful color palette and movement. like a quick splash with mixed color. :)

EMOC, i really like this abstract flame. like i am in a smoky and dreamy envoironment. :)

[wenkat]

Thanks Pai for the comments!

23960

Wenkat

[EMOC]

thank you... sandyg , Vasilenko and pai

[Vasilenko]

One more. I called it 'Cherry'

[pai]

Vasilenko, that's very sexy abstract with that purple lip and cherry.:)

.....thinking of a stoned face...

[wenkat]

Lovely eye candies from Natalia, Pai & Emoc!:)

24083

[Vasilenko]

Vasilenko, that's very sexy abstract with that purple lip and cherry.:)

.....thinking of a stoned face...
Pai, I agree is sexy. And I don't know why is coming out this way :mad:. I love your abstract, very interesting texture and colors.

Wenkat, I love your abstracts, they're always so pure and colorful!

[Vasilenko]

Here is another one. 'Fantasy'

[Vasilenko]

And another one. Pure ArtRage!

[Vasilenko]

And more metallics?

[Vasilenko]

And one more. I hope I'm not annoying you, today I painted several abstracts.
This is 100% ArtRage hand painting, no reference images were used, it's from my imagination. I named it 'Cherry blossom'

[wenkat]

Beautiful abstracts in vivid style, Natalia!:)

24122

[irishrose]

Wow, I love them all... I have to say, EMOC's win my prize... I didn't think it was possible to create a smoke like look with so much reality! Great colors!

[pai]

Vasilenko, I really like your "Fantasy" and "Cherry Blossom" pieces. Very beautiful abstract. :)

[EMOC]

thank you irishrose

[irishrose]

Pai, Vasilenko, Wenkat and EMOC,.... wow! This is quite a diversity and I love it! I'm such an abstract lover!!!

[Vasilenko]

Thank you to all of you! Abstracts are so much fun! :p

[screenpainter]

just letting go... no reference used. :) Used the color burn blending mode and a custom textured canvas by Misterpaint.

[wenkat]

Thanks Rose & Natalia! Rose, nice to meet you here at ArtRage forum!
Great work, gzair; I like the effect brought out by your color burn method!:)

What a great thread. Alas, there are too many pics to comment on individually. But I find the collected works very dynamic and creative as all heck. Lots of energy.

The theme of abstraction really calls to the artist in so many. Good to see.

Thanks for the treats.

[irishrose]

Awesome works! I love the gray, white and cream colored abstract, but they ALL ARE VIBRANT AND BEAUTIFUL! What inspiration!

[irishrose]

just letting go... no reference used. :) Used the color burn blending mode and a custom textured canvas by Misterpaint.

This reminds me of a little town! It's great Albert!

[irishrose]

Wenkat, it's been a while, but I'll be back,... it's been a very long few months!

[lazlazlaz1]

it's not entirely abstract, but there is no real subject

[wenkat]

Lovely absracts from everyone!

24319

[pai]

EMOC, I like your blue abstract. The movement and shapes created a 3D look. Like lots of metal crosses.:)

lazlazlaz1, looks like swimming under in a clear sea in a brightful day. those little bubbles shines. :)

Wenkat, your abstracts have a new different look now. I really like the white background with the red paint in the middle one. Lots of movenments in there. :)

[pai]

"Heart Cracks"

[pai]

...two more..just in a mood..

[weembaman]

Very nice, I really like the second one and the way the colors jump out at you...:)

[lazlazlaz1]

another ocean and a land one

[wenkat]

Thanks Pai for the comments.
Your last two posts are really absorbing one! Congrats!:)

24374

[wenkat]

I like the color-gradient (bacground) in your last post! Really cool, laziaz!:)

24375

[screenpainter]

These last two are amazing Wenkat. :) Especially this one of many colors that looks like shattered fragments. Love it. :)

[EMOC]

thank you sabena for your comment...
thanks pai...

[RobertSWade]

This is always such an inspirational thread. I thought I'd add something ... "The Prehistoric Chicken".

[pai]

...some wild abstract and color play...

[weembaman]

Very nice...I love the way your paintings flow and the colors you use....:)

[Vasilenko]

Wow, wow, wow!!! Everybody is so unique!!!

Here are a couple of mines:

'Milky way' and 'Fantasy abstract', both 100% hand ArtRage paintings, no reference image used.

[Thyra]

it is very amazing, what is posted here. I think, this thread encourages some users, to work more intuitive - at least me :)

[EMOC]

the next in grey...

[wenkat]

Great stuff from PAi, Emoc, Natalia, Thyra and Roberts!:D
Thanks specially to Gzairborne for his C&C on my previous post!:)

Scary!

24554

[Vasilenko]

Wow! It's so much fun and feelings! Wenkat, your ghost or sad man looks intriguing! EMOC, very nice use of shapes and light. Thyra, your art is almost Gaudi!

Here is mine again, Abstract Trees

[wenkat]

Awesome stuff, Natalia!:)

24572

[Vasilenko]

I like the use of light in your painting, Wenkat.

This is mine, I named it 'Bella Mare' (beautiful sea in italian) :p
100% ArtRage.

[wenkat]

Your Bella Mare is tantalising, Natalia!:)

Is it OK if I call this 'Celestial'?

24651

[pai]

Vasilenko, I really like that abstract tree painting. The movement is so beautiful.:)

wenkat, I can see your abstract paintings have new movments and color palette. I really like the recent ones. :)

[wenkat]

Thanks Pai for your comments.

[yellowhorde]

Wow, there are so many fantastic abstracts in this thread!

Emoc, I was just curious what you were using in your painting to create such an awesome flame-like effect, an airbrush perhaps? Whatever you used, I loved it.

Need to express your self with shapes and colors ? this thread is for you ;)

I start with this colorful piece.
I like to paint and not knowing where it will go.


I just started painting lines on the canvas and this is what I wound up with .......


http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u9/the_painters_bucket/Abstract--PrismSticks-1Byc5-2009-3.gif

[Lee]

Dear Mary, both beautiful lines and colors, but just have to ask,,, how in the world did you get that one to animate?, so very cool!!!! good job!:)

[MaryS.Hines]

Dear Mary, both beautiful lines and colors, but just have to ask,,, how in the world did you get that one to animate?, so very cool!!!! good job!:)

thanks, Lee :) as for animating, first I saved the projects in stages, almost every time I would add a stick, I'd save it as a jpeg...then I just put all the jpegs in a gif converter program....you could also put the jpegs in a movie program, any movie program would work if you don't have a program that converts to gif file format (for example, 'windows movie maker, or avs video) ,,,..but movies are usully quite larger end files than gifs, much larger...if you have photo story 3, that's a good gif converter, and you can add music to it and special effects,,ps3 lets you save in movie format or gif...it lets you 'batch' select your files so you don't have to import them one at a time, ..(just click 'shift' after you select the first jpeg)..that's a big plus,,I used about 25 jpegs for that one little animation..:eek:......ps3 usually comes with your pc, as a windows application...but if you don't have ps3, just go online n do a search for 'gif converter'..you'll get lots of results........you can also animate jpegs in most 3D programs,n they usually let you save in gif.

maybe we can talk Tycho into adding a 'animation timeline' and 'gif converter' plug-in to ArtRage2 ? ;) then we could animate our images while we're in AR2...wouldn't that be great ? :):):):):):):):):):):):):)
maybe they could put a timeline in the next version (ArtRage3 ?) would be glad to pay for the upgrade.:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

[Lee]

Dear Mary, thank you so much for the information!!! so easy to understand too!! the outcome was beautiful, don't think any post like that here yet,,, good job,, will look for the gif programs out there and YES!!! Tycho ceartainly has inside influence, an AR gif program would be super!!!!:):):)

Done with the free version of art rage. Only 1 layer. Fun stuff. What emotions do you think it evokes?

I just spent the last 10 minutes looking through all of these posts on this thread and I must say that I was baffled and amazed at all these designs with the abstract feeling!! Great talent here people!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[lolalot]

Here are mine. The first one was done with tube paint and the knife, the second one just random things from the tools! :)

[sandyg]

Some interesting abstracts here, some great effects lolalot I like the one you did with tube and knife has a water look to it.
All good, I enjoyed looking through them.

[lolalot]

Thank you Sandyg, I enjoyed doing them

[lolalot]

This one was really interesting to do... it was done with tube paint and palette knife.

That's really thick, looks hard to have pushed the paint around, good rippling effect, looks like very thick water.

[silvy]

A very lovely effect Pai, I like it so much:)

[sandyg]

That's a good effect you've achieved there Pai looks like a long corridor through a door.
MeganRosex and Hally I like yours. wanttopaint both yours are good as yours are too Dany.
Hello and welcome MeganRosex to Art Rage and the forums.

Thanks for the nice words, Silvy and Sandy. Glad you can see the doors and the pathways. These doors aren't locked or need any key, you just need to walk thru them....

[PICASO41]

I had a dream of flying or flight last night.
It's strange and beautiful how interpretations turn out.

Beautiful dream you have, PICA.

Gorgeous Wenkat! Love colors and patterns. The texture addition really excellent idea also Wenkat. Also the combination of symmetrical with non symmetrical. Nice.

[Lima]

Fantastic thread. Brilliant art all around. Congratulations to all the fine abstract artists.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

[pai]

@Albert, just notice your post were in the middle and your description made me smile. thanks for the nice words.

@wenkat, i love your Semblance. Beautiful shapes and colors.

[silvy]

Agree with Gzairborne and Oriane... what a thread!:eek:
The last one of Pai, leaves raised by wind is a delight.

[Squirls]

I just picked a couple of my favorite colors and started scraping

[wenkat]

Very great abstracts here!

[Bobbi]

Abstract is a fascinating exercise in imagination. It is also satisfying in just letting the colors and textures simply flow.

[Squirls]

Just a fun piece with glitter. It had much more depth in AR. the background looked like caves and the foreground looked very translucent. I'm not sure what I did wrong. This is the first time the painting changed when I exported it but I still like it!:o

[glibmongo]

Great stuff!

[FreeAlchemist]

This is not as beautiful as other works that I've seen in this thread...
But why not?:)

"Follow the white rabbit, my dear...follow the rabbit"

[sandyg]

Sandyg.

[FreeAlchemist]

Hopefully I don't know what this rabbit is drinking:)
If I knew I could probably follow him to the land of wonders...
...and never return:D

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that it's soda.

Very fizzy, at that.

Anyway, just increasing my post count so I can finally show you some of my work. I was inspired by Pai and her drawing of the egg to make my own about a...well, this is the Abstract Thread right?
