Choosing An Abstract Watercolor Painting To Your Home

By Jerri Perry


When it comes to choosing art pieces for your home finding the right ones can be a challenge if you don't know what to look out for. Choosing an abstract watercolor painting to go with the rest of you decor is a great idea as long as you choose the right one. There are several different factors to consider when it comes to finding a painting that will suit your home.

To start with you will need to consider the colors that you want to be used. These should go well with the rest of your decor and not clash with it. This is something that you want to stand out as the centerpiece of the room not as an eyesore. They don't necessarily need to match the colors that you already have in use but they should go well with them.

Choosing a design can be another difficult task to take on. The range of abstract art is so large that it can be overwhelming at times. It can consist of anything from a couple of paint splatters on a canvas to an intricate display of an assortment of different shapes, or anything else that the artist can come up with. Decide before whether you want the piece to make a statement or have it simply for the aesthetic appeal.

Trying to coordinate your painting with the room that you intend to put it in may not be the best way to go. Because the range of art that you can find is so large you can pretty much do anything you want with it. If your room is plain and simple adding a funky, large, and colorful piece right in the center of it will create a nice focal point in the room.

Purchasing directly from an artist is the best way to directly support the arts. You can do a search on the internet to find artists in you area that may be able to provide what you are looking for. Alternatively, you may want to check out as many galleries in your area to see if there is something there that you may be interested in.

Finding one online is always a great way to go. There is a large variety of artists on the internet who are willing to sell their art at very low costs compared to galleries. If you can't find what you are looking for there then perhaps you could describe the painting that would best suit you to one of the many talented artists out there and see if they are able to create it specially for you.

Searching through used furniture shops and thrift stores may be a fools pursuit but you never know what you might find hidden underneath all of that junk. You just might find exactly what you are searching for. The upside to this method is that the cost should be significantly less since you won't be purchasing directly from the artist.

Get a feel for it in your home before making the final decision. You may want to carry a photo of the space where you intend to hang the abstract watercolor painting in, with you as a reference. If you do get it home and decide that it is not right then you may be able to exchange it for one that is.
