Can you create abstract art using colored pencils?

And what are the other coloring tools you can use to color abstract art?
Wat type of pen do you need?

Yes you can use colored pencils and anything else you like. Really, anything. The abstraction has to do with the lack of representation in the art itself, not with your particular medium. The medium is in fact where you can draw your attention if you like. Abstract art can happen in two and three dimension so you don’t have to limit yourself to pens and pencils. Find a medium that you enjoy and start from there. You don’t need anything fancy or expensive either. For example, simple crayons would do.

What is the criteria for abstract art to be valuable?

What do abstract art enthusiasts look for to decide what is good and what is crap, and can you make any money if you are alive, or do you have to be dead for your art to sell? I like making abstract art, so I want to know what is everyone in the abstract art world looking for?

With any kind of art, what makes it valuable is that someone likes it and is willing to pay money for it. However, with abstract art, the ability to draw well is no longer an issue so is becomes less about the artist’s painting/drawing skills and more about the concept behind it. Most abstract art conveys something such as an emotion or idea and if that speaks to someone, it becomes valuable in a dollar sense. It’s very difficult to make money off of art, but not impossible to do while alive. I would give it a try since it’s what you like to do and just see what happens, but art is really something you should do because you like to do it and less about money. Most artists have a "day job" to pay the bills and make art in their spare time. Good luck and hope that helps!

What is the difference between Abstract Art and Realistic art?

Hey, people.
I am in desperate need of help, I need to know the difference between Abstract Art and Realistic Art.
Could anyone help me?

Abstract Art is random things drawn together that can be interpreted differently per person. It can be floating objects or random lines using your imagination.

Realistic Art is drawing exactly what you see. It has be as accurate as possible with no random stuff. It takes longer to develop.

Abstract Art?

How are abstract paintings defined as being ‘abstract’? Whenever I paint something, people tell me it’s abstract…so I’m just wondering…

"Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses colour and form in a non-representational way."
