At first painting this way can seem awkward. But that’s the unfamiliarity of it. Explore the layering techniques of four skilled abstract painters whose approaches make clear that abstract painting is a gateway for satisfying artistic expression because it entails working with color, form, and texture — all the things that artists hold dear.

Building a visual rhythm in a painting often has to do with ease of movement as you layer color and texture. A lot of artists call this different things: intuitive, gestural, or freedom. But it all comes down to shutting the mind off — going on creative autopilot — so that the thinking mind does not...

The product would replace Adobe’s traditional color picker. Called Playful Palette, it simulates the results possible with a real paint palette and provides beneficial digital effects. These include the ability to save infinite palettes for future use. Artists can also go back in time to edit a previous color choice.

Digital palettes always sound promising in theory. However, three Adobe researchers — Masha Shugrina, Jingwan Lu and Stephen DiVerdi — aren’t impressed by previous efforts.
