Piet Mondrian is famous for his abstract painting style which became a part of the actual Dutch De Stijl art movement from the early 20th century. Mondrian combined clear black lines and colorful geometric designs to relay his artistic feelings as well as assist the audience to navigate his work.
This use of main colors by Mondrian allowed him to maintain his art simple and enabled him to focus his ideas and choices within other areas of each painting. Primary colors are helpful in order to any artist wanting to create further colours.
To complete a painting in Mondrian’s best known style try covering your own canvas or paper with strips of masking tape, situated to intersect one another and offer opportunities for the colorful squares to be painted in.
Amateur artists may study from Mondrian’s use of negative space by studying his work. As an alternative to the painting technique above, try placing a number of cut-out coloured squares on to a large black piece of paper.
