In this class we will work on a random geometric abstract painting (in the style of Matisse) a minimalist geometric abstract painting featuring bold geometric shapes. We will be doing this in Procreate with supplied brushes to keep your first one simple. Although the shapes are easy to create I believe that starting with a brush set will get you creating immediately. You can always add more brushes and shapes! How many times have you looked at an abstract painting and heard someone say "I could do that!"? While abstract painting looks easy to it can actually be more challenging than traditional or classical painting. You will see that as I work my way through the composition and layout. This is because abstract art defies rules and conventions. Its up to you as the artist to break rules be expressive and decide what is art. I will give you plenty of suggestions on how to make your art piece more interesting from using blending modes to adding textures using clipping masks.
