Also have some recent progress pics
In the previous post I showed you the setup - did a wash of acrylics in a really "watercolour" fluid without mixing so it had pinks lilac darker purple all flowing into each other
then a sponge with some more purples and pinks and mixed in a bit of soft yellow
Now I am doing the saran wrap again....
just along the bottom so the green leaves (see how some of it is pale yellow and different shades of green - I mixed and drizzled and sponged and then put on the saran all wrinkled) and it dries like that so I can't do much now... I guess I have to go make dinner and knit - but fun to see it tomorrow and how it turns out
Also used some masking fluid tracing along the previous stems formed with the saran wrap - and glazed over with another shade of pink - I want it to be soft pastel but the music today - Supertramp - is dictating otherwise and we are getting lots of fun colours - the brush and the music paint the canvas, and today the music was adding some great colours - DREAMER played quite a few times... I wonder if that might be relevant and the music is talking to me - I know my teachers used to say I was a dreamer ... hmmm... I don't actually have a problem with that
Let me know what you think of the brighter blog - maybe it is easier for you to read - apparently a lot of folks prefer it
Thanks to all of you for your comments
CLaire as usual this is just marvellous. I hae been away for a few days so not able to read your blog or comment but I have caught up and I am in awe of you. I so love this. What on earth is saren wrap???? it looks like great stuff but I have never heard of it or seen it. Just astounding Claire.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ralph, I love that you love it!!! Saran wrap is "plastic wrap" I forgot you are UK so maybe it has a different name ... sorry will try to use more generic terms so you will know what I mean (I have the same trouble sometimes going to the different sites) so just plastic wrap on the wet paint put it on and it crinkles up and makes shapes in the paint - when it dries you can pull it off and all the different patterns help get that creativity going and you can see images in the designs and the paint has been pushed around to form shapes - try it - very fun - don't be afraid of the process - there are no mistakes in art when you paint creatively right? So happy to hear from you!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an intriguing technique! Your work is amazing!
