I'm not sure if it's all the experimenting with texture options, or simply dancing around the kitchen during a happy painting pause, but I like this version much better.

Texture Experiments
At long last, I returned to my easel today. I did not, at first, start with paint though. I had an old painting that was a little flat and stormy green and rusty orange strange colors that I decided to renovate by adding some texture. So I glued on some swatches of material and parts of a vinyl window shade. I then changed the color scheme to something much more upbeat, with oranges, pinks, magentas, and lilacs. As a final addition, I added a bit of sand from the garden and let a gentle rain fall on it for a minute or so.

I think it's awesome! Wish I could see it in 3D.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's still fairly flat, but I am liking the fringe on the fabric.
DeleteI think it looks great and I love the integration of materials and colors. Really love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, MA! I had some fun making a big mess with materials everywhere.
