Abstract Painting With Digital Variations 🌀🎨🌀🎨
“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes....Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.”
― Arshile Gorky
I am not a football fan so the other night while my hubby was watching the Super Bowl, I went down to my studio and put on some dreamy music, lit some frankincense incense and filled my palette with a variety of colors and let my mind flow free with the paintbrush.
I painted a layer of pattern, then turned the canvas 90 degrees and painted another layer, then turned the canvas again. It seemed that the paint and the brush flowed with the music.
To finish it off, I added shadows under some of the swirls to give the impression of depth between the layers.
Then I photographed it and started playing with it digitally. I used Prisma and IColorama apps on my iPad. Some of my favorites remind me of stained glass and tile patterns.
I had been longing to get back into my studio after being away for a while. It felt great and refreshed my creative juices.
Thanks for stopping by!
Dear Artist ! FineArtNow is a new place for artists and art lovers on Steemit ! Become our friend ! See you soon !
I checked it out and am following. Thanks!
The final version of the painting is awesome, I love abstract patterns like these, I can stare at them for hours. Generally, it is good to process a painting digitally, as it gives you the opportunity to try different things and explore variations, without harming the original. But, in this case, although the kaleidoscopic images are fun, they cannot surpass the magnificence of the original painting! The details are amazing, especially if you open a new tab with the full picture, where you can zoom in.
PS: you might be interested in https://deepdreamgenerator.com/ for digital experimentation. This is an example of your picture, altered a bit (right-click -> open in new tab for details) -- if you have any objections to using it, I will delete it immediately.
So glad you like it! I have tried deep dream generator before. I like the way it puts eyes into the design.
This is brilliant! I love the colors and the patterns on the first painting a lott!! Upvoted with my 100% power and going to resteem it too :)
Wow! Thanks for the kind remarks, upvoting and resteeming! 😀
