Negative space positive space – Bart van der Leck De Stijl painting

Negative space positive space are other ways to look at a painting. In this case a Bart van der Leck painting in the De Stijl style. Van der Leck is one of the members of De Stijl art movement together with Piet Mondrian and Gerrit Rietveld. Negative painting techniques acrylic helps understand your painting better and what to look for by looking at positives shapes (the subject) and negative shapes (the background), they both are equally important. When you want to learn how to paint with acrylics, De Stijl is an simple way of abstract painting with great result. I will show making several compositions.
