29 - Aim for pure Abstraction
This was an interesting experiment. Most were able to accomplish a complete abstract and still, our minds kept seeing something tangible emerging from the shapes and shadows of the piece.
I find definitions to be blurred between "abstract", "abstract expression", "abstracted representation" and all the other labels put on art (even "impressionistic") that is not photorealistic. I actually see it is all an abstraction.
There were two works on Yupo. Because of its boundary issues with watercolor, it is a great medium for leaving detail and realism behind and letting the paint lead the way.
