Exploring color and abstract landscape composition

Jackie Schomburg-Abstract Art & Creative Wellness

Жыл бұрын

After envying abstract landscape artists for years, I finally decided to intentionally play with abstract landscape compositions and see what would happen. I have a theory that exploring and figuring out what "Jackie landscapes" would look like on my own is the best way for me to avoid being influenced by how other artists define abstract landscapes. It might take me longer to get to my desired outcome, but I'm going to stick with it and see how it goes.
In addition to composition, I also experimented with a different color palette in this exercise: yellow ochre, phthalo turquoise, payne's grey, and alizarin crimson (plus black, white, and collage, of course).
Materials used: sketchbook, acrylic paint, collage, and a color shaper.

brilliant. love the squares idea. 4 me you can do all the courses and books but u still have to find yr own way. ideas like limiting colour, using certain materials and toolz, limits on time, cutting up painted sheets and finding u have ipso facto created a composition , these r great tricks that move u along satisfyingly fast. value was the best thing i got from being taught and admittedly that is the biggy.

@jackieschomburgart Жыл бұрын

You’re so right, Robert! And yes, value is HUGE. I feel like I’m still learning more and more about value every time I paint ❤️

They are great in the closeups. In the actual size they look a bit crowded. The orange really brightened them up and they were great. The blue was a nice addition to the colour palette but I felt it was too much on those tiny pieces.

Oh my!! I really loved this. It popped up this mmorning on my feed so have now subscribed. Ive worked on four at a time in my sketch books, but this really concentrates the mind, but has a freeing up feeling as well. Oow the orange was a super addition, in fact all colours that l love. I use my photographs as a guide for my landscapes, but also make notes in a book about what drew my eye to the subject. I dont copy what l see more an expression of what l see.

These turned out great and the colors are beautiful together. I painted a few abstract landscapes after watching a few videos. Impossible for me to copy anything so I chose some colors and ran with it. I have no formal art training but the videos helped give me ideas.

Love them Jackie, inspiring as always ❤Only those who have made abstract art know that kind of absolute bliss (though looking at it is pretty cool too :) Some of the pieces looked very Rothko-esque before you added a few more elements -- this is definitely something I will experiment with as well (a problem for me, though, is that if I try to do something again it never works -- it seems to be about the process not the result). I confess that I'm a bit dubious about the idea of making an 'abstract' anything, I don't really want to have any kind of a pattern in my head -- but I can see how it could actually help you uncover ways of working that you haven't yet incorporated -- new neural pathways 🏵🌺🌼

@jackieschomburgart Жыл бұрын

❤️❤️❤️ It’s a fun way to experiment with many things quickly! Tell me more about what you mean when you say “if I try to do something again it never works”.

@amherst88 Жыл бұрын

@@jackieschomburgart Hi Jackie -- just that I can never do the same thing twice, when I try to (sort of) replicate something it's never the same (and it's not as much fun) so I don't think I could do the small scale multiples and make any particularly interesting ones again larger -- I may try it though and just see what happens :)

@jackieschomburgart Жыл бұрын

Ahh, okay - thanks for clarifying. I definitely relate. ❤️ Whenever I have tried to replicate something it becomes beyond boring and/or it turns out awful! I don’t know that they would necessarily scale up well. I’m more so using the small grid to try on color combinations and get practice in (in this case, trying out landscapes). If I use them in larger paintings, I’m anticipating using the general shape of a composition here or there. I’m embarking on a new series of ten 12”x12” canvases tomorrow, so stay tuned - we’ll see how it goes! ☺️

@puresunrays80 9 ай бұрын

I really love this. I'm the same, I'd rather try things first and find my way to do it, maybe then look at others' work/books etc. Do you spend about the same amount of time making these miniature spreads or does it vary? How long do they take for you. I'm very much into doing the art the way I like. All rules go out of the window. I've recently been doing UK A2 size art which I love. It's the largest my desk can accommodate. I'm going to take this idea of the squares but change it up. Using my UK A2 card, draw varying size squares all over the page and fill in in a similar way to you with my own twist. 😊

@jackieschomburgart 9 ай бұрын

Hi! I LOVE that you're making this exercise your own! The time I spend on the grids varies wildly! Some I can do in an hour or less. Some take 4-5 hours. I feel like I average about 2 hours for each grid session, but I just stop whenever I feel like stopping. Often I keep working on it because I just don't want to stop ❤️

It’s funny, you said that the original color pallet was dreary and I liked it. I think my asthmatics is a duller pallet.

@jackieschomburgart Жыл бұрын

It’s great that we each have our own individual color preferences, isn’t it 🤗 Art is wonderfully subjective ❤️

@ultramarinetoo 3 ай бұрын

Love your process. Is it really an abstract landscape if you're not starting from a landscape? btw. Hansa Yellow is also arylide yellow or monoazo yellow, so this is di-arylide, and di-azotized (i.e. di as in two, not dia as in day).

@jackieschomburgart 3 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! As an artist, I think it's an abstract landscape if I decide it's an abstract landscape 😂 There is a continuum of abstraction from completely realistic on one side and completely abstracted on the other. Landscapes can be on one side or the other.... or anyplace in between. I like to think of my abstract landscapes as being much farther on the abstracted side. THANK YOU for the background on the yellows! That's super helpful 🤗
