So, I Want My Family To Paint... Now What?

Shades of black. Perfect for my teen angst emo daughter.

I'm working on getting them back to the table. Then I'll ask if I can share the results. Baby steps for now.

Although, I'm starting to think just covering my kids with paint and accidently running into them with the canvas might be abstract enough. As I do it I'll say "Hey, I'm gonna get your "expression" one way or another."

teenage angst? - oh I remember it well!

this is supposed to exp[ress ourselves... I was going to dip my penis in different color paint and do a canvas... but squinney won't let me

I also fear that paint in the urethra might not be too comfy....

tell her it's action painting and don't be a wimp suffer for your art!

Bear you are missin out here my son. I'm thinkin nude models..................not nude artist.

or maybe.....
Do a Pro Hart.

Get outside with variouse sized containers of different color paint throw, slosh dash, sploodge,sploosh and otherwise make a hell of a mess and then walk on it. Give it a wooky kinda name like "still life polar angst".

yeah man thats ART

How about I get real flatulent, put different color paint around my anus, then fart explosively onto the canvas and call it Portrait of an American President?

That could be considered abstract expression right?

conceptual art I think

This is my abstract ocean waves:




And below is an abstract-ish one of Vancouver, BC - I am so bad at abstract art




And I tried to do an abstract watercolour once - yikes... hard!

Mame - Those are beautiful. The abstract waves are the feel I want. Alas, I think I'll paint over mine and start again. This really is harder than expected.

Meanwhile, daughter still has a solid black background and I've hidden Bears canvas and the paint.

it really is hard, and it sounds so easy... i've painted over plenty of canvases. good luck to you, squin, you can do it, you can do it One trick some people use is squint at something and paint that and make sure you post the results! (and thank you!)

It would be okay, Bear; just use a condom.
