Abstract Painting Concepts and Techniques

Abstract Painting Concepts and Techniques takes the artist through the history and exact methods of abstract works in two clear, comprehensive sections, covering both traditional abstract works and post-painterly modern abstraction.

The first section, on traditional painterly abstraction using brush and easel, looks at space, brushwork, paint quality, and collage. The second section, on post-painterly modern abstraction, contemplates options ranging from the pour-and-spatter techniques of Jackson Pollock, to the staining, scraping, and abrading of modern acrylic artists.
