When you think of painting outdoors, many people imagine a realistic landscape or a detailed study of a tree. But how about doing it completely differently this time? Pack your easel, paints, and come experience the magic of abstract creation in the fresh air with us.
Why try abstraction?
Abstract art is about feelings, freedom and playing with colors. Outdoors, you won't be afraid of dripping next to the table, and the surrounding nature will provide you with the best inspiration. Plus, you don't need any complicated equipment. We'll show you how!
What you will need:
Wooden stand (available at KOH-I-NOOR stores)
How to do it? Watch our video tutorial
There are no strict rules when it comes to abstraction, but if you don't know how to get started with a sponge and watercolor on canvas, we've prepared a quick video guide for you. In it, you'll see how to layer colors, how to work with water, and how to let the canvas breathe.
Why go outside to create?
Painting outdoors has a unique atmosphere. The light outside is constantly changing, the wind helps you dry the layers, and the birdsong acts as a perfect relaxing backdrop. Throw away the shyness of "not being able to paint." There is no such thing in abstraction. It is only about your joy in playing with Koh-i-noor colors.
Are you planning to go out with a palette in hand this weekend? If so, don't forget to tag us on Instagram with your finished canvases. We'd love to see what outdoor pieces you create!
Koh-i-noor wishes you beautiful creative days!
