Line paintings. sharing amazingly beautiful simple comb technique how to do it and make beautiful abstract art. It all begins with a dot that extends to a line and then strokes and abstraction! I had this craze during beginning of career year 2000.. even now I am attracted to do this style of painting. It gives very neat and defined art works. I painted many artworks using this technique.

The procedure is very difficult and use of certain sharp instruments and layering of different colours is done to produce this result. small, big long short combs and the tooth's are fine and thick also. I also break combs to get custom sizes and good grip for this abstract technique
Comb technique needs tooth's of different gaps, you can get geometric paintings so easily and very neatly instead of painting by brushes. It has to be done at one time with lots of precautions as the oil paint colours start getting together resulting in a muddy painting.

Oils on canvas and paper are best as it takes some time to dry. Acrylics dry very fast and hence sometimes difficult to pain , but canvasses do come out beautifully. Pouring acrylics as base and scraping off with comb gives immensely beautiful natural abstracts.
You need to give final touches with geometric instruments sometimes.
Thin comb gives neat close knit lines in painting. Thick wide tooth comb gives thicker lines. Swiftly each movement will bring different effects. if you go swiftly straight then you get close knit parallel lines on your canvas. if you curve the comb swiftly you will get immensely beautiful circles, mandala structures naturally.
There are beautiful artworks that can be created using this comb lines painting technique. One can begin by covering the canvas or paper with a dark colour paint. Be it red , black or blue or green. The darker the colour the better. If you use a lighter background then you can cover up with a darker shade and vice versa. After laying thick layer of paint let it dry for some time. Then apply another layer of contrasting colour on this. Now you can use any instrument and create lines or shapes over the painting. This will remove or scrape the paint on the above layer and give beautiful images left behind. This is a wonderful art technique and can be done easily by anyone and even by children. You can use blunt knifes, back tip of brushes, pencil tips, pen tips, combs, geometrical instruments etc to use for this technique.
Care has to be taken to be firm and yet gentle and also not very light as this technique is all a matter of the right pressure. Very light hand and you will not scrape enough paint to get the design and very hard pressure applied and there is fear of tearing the canvas or paper. Also avoid using very sharp objects as they will harm the material on which you are painting as well as you.

For painting straight lines I used to use rulers but they leave marks and also lines are not straight I have let go of control and allow my lines free and most times they end up straight! In abstracts you can use geometric instruments if you are comfortable and most artists do get crisp fine lines in artworks. My lines are usually a bit off, want them to be like that!
I use rulers to make lines over lapping over the base next to each other and they bring out amazing abstraction! below year 2000 precious oil painting Freedom.
This happens only with experience and having a good brush tip. Since beginning of making art, more that decades I can never follow the drawings, or lines in my art, I have to go abstract free and allow my brush to rule. hence my paintings are always one of a kind and even I cannot repeat it!
