Abstract Art Human Figures - Painting Figurative

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ม.ค. 2019
- Painting abstract art human figures is easier than you might think. Painting figurative can be fun. I will show you how to paint abstract figures in this easy abstract painting for beginners. I also show you some basics in acrylic painting. Figure abstract art is a way of human abstract art. Abstract painting figures or painting abstract human body is about looking. What do you need and what can be left out in human abstract painting. Modern figure art can be a great hobby because for human art painting, especially abstract human painting the game is to what not to paint. When will you make your first modern art figure painting?
Materials
The art materials I use in the videos are not sponsored.
I prefer to work on multi-purpose paper, more info in this video: • How to choose the RIGH...
In almost all my videos I use with Winsor&Newton Galeria acrylics, if not, I will say so in the video.
Other materials I use are in random order: 5, 10 and 40mm brushes, palette knives, acrylics medium, Ecoline liquid watercolor, Lyra color pencils, Lyra soft pastels, oil pastels, Stabilo color pencils, paper palette pad and basic masking tape. I also use household items like a permanent marker, scrub sponge, scissors, paper towel, and so on.

You really make art accessable. Incredibly insightful and generous.
Hi Brian, thanks. I enjoy sharing ideas like this so more people can enjoy painting. Have a nice day, Albert
your tips are the best school for building self-confidence
Thanks, Ma Na.
“You can kiss this photo but it will never feel the same as kissing the real me....” Lol! Love it! :)
Hi Lauren, haha thanks! Albert
this definitely made me giggle too...Albert, is just the best
Thanks Serece. 😊
Thank you! As someone new to painting I’m drawn to abstract expressionism but have been hesitant to include people within the composition. This video has captured the process I needed to get my head wrapped around how to approach the human figures perfectly. I’m looking forward to giving it a try!
Hi Phil, thanks and great to hear I could help you. Enjoy painting in this way! Albert
Your tutorials are always very inspiring for me. Thank you.🙏🍀
Thanks Claude, happy painting. Albert
your students are wonderfully talented - making you a great teacher!
Thanks Steven, I guess everyone is talented, they just have to dare to get going. Albert
You make it look so easy I am 81 and have really only now fallen for abstract I hope to experiment for my remaining years Thanks from Australia
Thanks, Lorraine. Luckily, a lot of abstract painting isn't about perfect brushstrokes. Instead, it is about what you feel about meeting colors and picking what you want to paint. I explain all sorts of ways to look at (abstract) art in the videos. You'll get there. But most of all: just have fun. Albert
You are so sweet Albert You never know I may send you something I have done sometime@@ImperfectPaintings
absolutely love abstract just shapes indications dreams love it
Hi Marie-Christine, yes exactly, paint whatever you feel and let your imagination run free, instead of your mind telling you it has to be realistic. Enjoy painting. Thanks for commenting, bye Albert
I'm excited! I'm 72 and art-challenged. But I need to paint. Recently in my landscapes I have been hiding obscure faces because I needed to have some sort of a creature and not just sky and mountains and trees. I then realized that my inner artist needed to make human figures. I was surprised at the number of artists on TH-cam showing how to paint figures. I quickly got a big list of videos to watch. But then I saw Albert's video and this is where I will start. I can do this! I'm excited!
Thanks, Danny, just what I hoped for when I made the video. Enjoy painting your figures. May I suggest a second video: th-cam.com/video/xWFjXzaQxDk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_1R6Ck-BaXNyBHjI.
Have a wonderful day, Albert
amazing ❤
Thanks, Freedom.
This is a great video and yes im pretty certain i could paint an abstract figure now ive been shown. Thankyou.
Thanjs Andrea, sure you can. I especially liked to play with the emotions you can express, for instance tilting the head a little. Albert
Thank you most informative. Ribyn
Thanks, Robyn.
Wow so cool. Thanks.
Thanks, Artist. Make one yourself now. Albert
Thank you for your positive approach to intuitive painting. You are positive and inspirational.
Thanks, Jet9woman. My aim is to get people (at least) try painting. Accompanied by the idea that anything is okay. You paint at your skills level and only do, do, doing will get you further. And please have fun doing 😉 Albert
Albert
It looks like fun
Thanks, Susan, it sure is interesting to try yourself. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings I was thinking about trying it.
This is to paint.
You tutorial is easy to learn.
Thanks Rocky, enjoy trying this for yourself. Albert
This process is a perfect way to enhance my lessons on helping kids understand the process of abstract art for my introduction on Diebenkorn.
I tried it w a picture of myself, and I have to say, it wasn't the easiest thing to get to the most simplest, abstract version of me.
Hi Serece, thanks. Sounds like an interesting plan. I hope the kids will like it. Albert
Hi Serece, good to hear you tried it yourself first, always the best way to go. By doing you learn how it works for you and maybe the kids will do just great. I would live to hear how it worked out. Albert
you have a great expression, by far the best painting channel as far as i know 🥳
Hi Cemre, thanks for the comment, can you repeat that? Haha, your comment makes my day. Have a nice one yourself too! Bye Albert
Love it, Love it, Love it.
Thanks Spencer.
Yeeees I can , and thanks a lot for all the efforts you do for us 🙏✌🏽
Hi Nabyl, thanks, good to hear you can do it too. Enjoy, Albert
Show. Lindo.... Parabéns irmão.
Hi Fábio, obrigado. Bye, Albert
Thank you so much, this is exactly what i was looking for as a beginner on the beautiful abstract path.
Hi Francois, thanks. Have a wonderful journey on your path. Albert
Love it . Absolutely amazing sir
Hi Aastha, thanks. Now it's your turn 😉 Albert
Really atmospheric!
Hi Gill, thanks. Enjoy making your version. Albert
you're paintings are really beautiful! You did an excellent job demonstrating how to approach figurative abstraction. Very accessible to the novice. Looking forward to more from you, well done!
Dieyen DualPen thanks. That was my sim, making painting An abstract more accessible. Are you a painter too?
@@ImperfectPaintings I wouldn't consider myself a painter, but I have painted before. In the fine art space I've been focusing most recently on performance.
But I consider myself a junky for abstract work in particular. The samples you show at the end of the video are so appealing.
You're in the arts. Performance, interesting. I love it a lot, not all, but just as all the other art niches. Thanks for sharing, Albert.
Very helpful. Thanks
Thank you ,Yes ,will tray
Thanks, Senci. Enjoy playing around. Albert

Good to hear, Marcia. Will you try the silly walk as well? Albert
Awesome
Thanks Edward
I love this video!. I really enjoyed the students work too. I am going to go immediately to doodle some human abstraction. This was exiting and interesting. I needed the guidance. Subscribing now.

Thanks, Aa.
You should have a title like SOMETHING FUN TO DO WHEN HOME BOUND most of us no nothing about painting but you make it look so fun and easy !!! Or just HOME BOUND FUN !! LOL I've been practicing doing it and shared with my daughter
Thanks Jesse, great title suggestion. I will think of a new fun exercise and name it like that. Somewhere in fall. At the moment I enjoy doing nothing om my first workless summer break .😁 Albert
I love this video and will definitely give it a go!!!
Tganjs, Marsha, enjoy messing around. Albert
This style of painting figures is incredibly fascinating! Love your work and your students as well. This inspires me for some future animations in videos. Thanks Albert!
Hi Edie, love your comment. It is so nice to hear you get inspiration from it. Painting can be a lot easier if you work this way. Have fun with it!
Lovely, thanks
Hi John, thanks. Albert
Hi Albert, just to say I have started bookmarking your videos into my own categories, so I can pinpoint your advice for my own artistic development. That way I can mash-up different artist's styles to see if I can discover interesting images. Thanks for these great videos.👍
Hi Rawdon, thanks for sharing. I'm interested to hear what combinations you will make. Also i would like to see what you create. Let me know when you are interested to share. Albert
Sure Albert, thanks. The last four months of lockdown, here in the UK, has been a great opportunity to develop my skills. So no way am I going to loose the momentum I have gained. Cheers 🎨
Yes, keep the momentum going. Happy painting, Albert
Just found you. This makes me happy and I want to try. Thank you 🌹
Thanks, Diana. Enjoy, Albert
Thank my friend for such a wonderful video. A++++++
Hi Dog scooter, thanks. It means a lot to me. Albert
💓
Thanks Erna, have a wonderful day, Albert
Yes!!!!!!¡!! Thanks 😊
Hi Nancy, thanks. And of course you can 😁 question his will you do it? 😉 Happy painting, Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings thanks a lot for your encouragement!!!!!!
Certainly, I can after watching your video😎
Hi Omar, thanks, it's that simple. Enjoy painting, Albert
Bob Burridge on YT describes painting the figure similarly like painting a carrot. One of my favorite figurative painters is Fritz Scholder.
Hi Culture Fan, thanks. Yes I know he does. It reminds me a bit of the clothing in the '80s, with shoulder patches, looking like American football players. I read it will be coming back a bit (as everything in fashion). Fritz Scholder, interesting portraits, thanks for the tip. Bye, Albert
So amazing with the kusjes...haha ha en ik heb weer iets geleerd, nog een fijne avond gewenst😊🌼⚘
Hi Susy, thanks, the kissing-part was fun. Albert
Omg never thought of doing humans like this! Two brush strokes and such an evocative image! Ps; why has the person on the right of the river not got a shadow?
It crossed the river, it's no longer among us.
@@ImperfectPaintings 😂😂😂
No longer among us in the sence of passed away
Have you seen Antony.Gormley’s sculptures in lake Ballard, Western Australia?
Hi Jane, yes, pictures of it. Would be wonderful to walk around there, but Australia is unfortunately the antipodes (?) of the Netherlands. We have one of his sculptures in Lelystad, next to the water. Bye, Albert
Oh wow, it’s stunning. And huge.
I really love his artwork. I'm looking for ways to make a video about him. Your Australia images helped shaping my ideas. Thanks for it. Do you live in Australia? Bye, Albert
Hello Albert, yes I live in Western Australia which is a wonderful place. It’s a vast state ranging from windy coastlines to red sandy deserts. Lake Ballard is almost a thousand km away from me and I haven’t seen the sculptures in real life. I think it’s wonderful that you are thinking of doing a video inspired by his work. It was your abstract figures that made me think of him.
Thanks for the reply, always nice to talk like this. I recently rewatched my human figure video and am still quite pleased with it. Great to hear it made you think of Gormley 😁😁😁
Australia is on my (dream)list to visit. Bye, albert
Ha, i have a similar painting video, different styles but the figures are abstracted and more surreal. I am from the #nosmallcreator group. Tot ziens!
Hi Douglas, thanks for dropping by. Yes I have been some of your work. Nice. How do you know 'tot ziens'? Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings thanks, I learned some Nederlands a long time ago, don't remember a lot any more.
You have such a Dutch accent you sound like a New Yorker like me! Lol. Dis, Dat, de utter ding...
Hi Dee, LOL, I know, I try to improve (this video is from 2 years ago) but on the 'utter' side, I don't mind that much. It's about the painting. I personally like to hear accents. In our small country you can hear them too and have an idea where they grew up. A lot of people don't like them, but it's also a personal thing. Spoken language becomes art with a personal touch, why would you want to focus on sameness when you can have individuality?
Thanks for sharing, it's fun to hear to sound like a New Yorker 😁 Albert
This really hits home today. We had a child in our community drown in the nearby river. Only his boots were found. He is the little figure on the other side of the water. Rest In Peace, little Dylan.
Hi Cindi, thanks for sharing, I have goosebumps allover. Awful story, but it is what the painting was about. Not everyone gets it. Albert
Yes
MaKayla Petersen thanks for the comment. Second question of the day: did you actually paint it as well?
But all the abstract people looked sad and alienated !!
Thanks, Philip, for noticing this. It's an example. In case you like it differently, try to manipulate your brush in such a way that they look happy. Enjoy painting, Albert
Ohhhhhh..... how interesting..... I think this time your students did a more interesting work than yours, some of their works touch the heart! Beautiful video.
Hi Con Civ, thanks for dropping by. And you can be true about my students making nicer things. My job is to give them the idea how they can paint differently to improve their skills. Do you paint as well? Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings well, I am starting playing with acrylics, I just wanna have fun like you do!
