Creating an Abstract Art Painting by the Contemporary Artist Vera - www.veraarts.com

Although it may not ...

Although it may not seem like it, there is almost always a method behind the madness when it comes to abstract art. (At least when it comes to the "better" abstract artists.)

So many art snobs ( ...

So many art snobs ( you know who you are the half the people posting comments) in one comment box! SHUT UP! Let the guy do his damn paintings with out a virtual poor judging

For all you people ...

For all you people that are poorly judging his work, just remember that everyone's art style is different and for the guy who said throwing paint on a canvas wasn't abstract, sure it is because his painting wasn't something direct

I dont hate this ...

I dont hate this and neither do i like it. Am i missing the point because i thought an 'artist' is supposed to have talent which only few people do but anyone even my 4year old can paint like this. I wouldnt display this in my house even if someone paid me. Sorry but its not art its a mess

the most beautiful ...

the most beautiful drawing is a child draw. Its beautiful in every single way.Its creative.

beautiful :)

beautiful :)

Love it! People ...

Love it! People like you give me the inspiration to keep practicing no matter how bad my artwork ends because as what I have heard "There are no errors in art"

Mate, if you can't ...

Mate, if you can't accept the artist's explanation for their work, then why not just accept it for what it is and take from it something positive ~ you like the texture, the use of colour etc. People like you really crack me up :)

I absolutely love ...

I absolutely love love love this!!! its about the process and the expression!!! i love it!

abstract is a ...

abstract is a simplification and summary of a concrete thing. example: "what you said was too abstract, can you give a specific example?", "abstract of a scientific paper is a summary" So if a reasonable person can not tell what an abstract painting is portraying, then is it really appropriate to call it an abstract painting? All art is already abstract anyway, art is never a straight 100% copy of real life. So why waste time by making a separate category called abstract art??

I am an artist ...

I am an artist myself and most of my work is abstract and i have to say that none of my paintings were ever created this fast. At least a whole day would do...At least

Very creative. ...

Very creative. Excellent.

Without making ...

Without making critical comments about the piece itself, painting with your hands with either acrylic or oils...especially oils!...on a rough canvas surface is exposing yourself to unnecessary toxicity. You are rubbing the pigments in to your skin and some of them, especially the yellows and reds, can have cadmium in them. I wouldn't paint like this over the long term. Interesting exercise to loosen yourself up though.

This is crap. As ...

This is crap. As an abstract artist myself, I realize that it's all in the eye of the beholder, but let's get real. Merely throwing globs of paint on a canvas does not necessarily make one an artist; nor does it make for a good painting.

ppl pay money for ...

ppl pay money for that?

Boy this guys fast

Boy this guys fast

There's more to ...

There's more to abstract art than most people think. There is method in the madness.

Ok, its pleasing to ...

Ok, its pleasing to look at. But taking some grandiose meaning from it is just stupid. Its the kind of thing that the art world is full of - snobbery. Throwing together a painting in less than ten minutes can't have given that artist any joy or pride. Giving it some high falutin concept is a cynical exercise in raising the price of the picture...

i call that garbage

i call that garbage

You call that art ?

You call that art ?

to a certain degree ...

to a certain degree, yes But thats not the only factor. Just saying, anything that can be done so quickly in the art world just lacks passion in my opinion It just looks like deco hotel art to me...

You are right. ...

You are right. Picasso painting up to three or four paintings in a day. Some in less than an hour. Thats not art either. 

I agree. Look at ...

I agree. Look at Rothko.

I hate to do this. ...

I hate to do this. I did not go to art school, I went to medical school. I started painting 1 year ago. I live in Manhattan and just had my first solo art exhibition with 26 pieces.
