The trap a lot of people fall into is "abstract art takes no skill". It really does take artistic skill to make abstract and expressionistic art that looks good. You need a good sense of color theory, design, and understanding how to work in the medium to get it to do what you want. There is a huge difference between a cocky art school student who only does abstract work and never working on his traditional skills and an artist who honed their traditional skills before branching into the abstract.
