Abstract paintings are one of the most popular types of art. It’s not hard to see why. They are colorful, vibrant, and full of life.

Abstract paintings can be made with a variety of materials and techniques. Oil paints, acrylic paints, watercolor paints, pastels, pencils, pens, and ink, are all popular ways to create abstract paintings.

Some artists use their hands to create an abstract painting by throwing or splashing paint onto the canvas or board in a spontaneous manner. This is called “handmade” because it was made without a machine or mechanical process like printing out an image on paper and then transferring it onto the canvas with graphite paper.
