As an artist, I’m often inspired by many great artists of the past and present and their techniques they’ve used in their artworks. I often use the same technique for my artworks but I’m thinking of trying new ones. Here are the three painting styles I’d like to try this year.
- Cubism
-
Considered to be one of the most influential styles of the twentieth century, this art style contains geometric shapes that inspired later abstract styles. I thought this was a funky style and this might be the easiest on my list as I once did something similar.
- Impressionism
-
My interest is mainly post-impressionism thanks to one of my favorite artists, Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh’s artworks have been my favorite since I learned about him and continue to be so. The use of different brush strokes and unusual angles were interesting to think about as well.
- Expressionism
-
I’ve heard several things about this art style and how most artists tend to use angst or negative feelings as a muse. Even though I have a ton of angst, I think it would be interesting to paint something that would make others feel a certain emotion.
I know that my first piece for each style won’t be perfect but the main thing is that I had fun and learned more about what makes each piece unique.
