The geometric painting is generally based on basic geometric figures that are most often represented by triangles, squares and rectangles, or figures that have some similarity to them.
When we talk about paint, we refer to a fluid that with the application of several thin layers is able to cover a surface. It is also important to mention that geometric paintings may be represented by circles, although they are very rare as they usually only incorporate straight edges.

How to draw a geometric painting
In order to realize geometric paintings several ideas can be applied, one that can be used is to work with time, in this sense we refer to know what is going to be painted or have some notion of what is wanted, for this way to make a design before beginning to make a geometric painting properly speaking. In other cases, people who want to have more freedom can make a geometric painting on any surface, taking into account the steps to follow.
The geometric painting is characterized by accentuating chromatic, formal and in some cases structural aspects without paying any attention to the imitation of reality by what is considered geometric painting abstract, becoming a branch of abstract art but also abstract art.
Types of geometric painting
Within the geometric painting we can highlight that there are certain varieties in terms of types and trends. There is a so-called geometric painting post pictorial painting referring to a fully customized type of painting and which is usually applied without regard to a specific tactile quality. This type of geometric painting does not give it any importance of an expressive type and is therefore carried out in the painter's own judgment.
Then there is the geometric painting expressive. This type of painting is characterized by a work that is planned through neutral elements. By this we mean that this type of painting begins with the realization of a geometric design drawn on a canvas to keep each figure separately but this time assuming that they overlap each other, this will allow us to obtain a good result.
