A while back I had a great idea and it was to begin with a purple canvas. After I painted it I couldnt remember what that great idea was. So this week I thought I would do something with that purple canvas. This project is twofold. The other part being to photograph the progress of the project.
First of all I made a loose sketch of my new idea with pastels
Then I went looking for materials.. oops two jars of medium dried up.
Ok. Found a jar of medium. Tearing paper and attaching with acrylic matte medium
Progress buy the end of day one.
Day two.. there is always a stage in a painting that I say... what was I thinking.. this was then.
Day 4 still a mess going on. I have to really concentrate on the push and pull of warm and cool colours, bright and muted, to make my compostion work. It reminds me of painting and also of a jigsaw puzzle.
I Love the sparkle it seems to have ... so lively.. but I think I will leave more underpainting showing next time. I think covering the whole surface gives too few quiet areas.
Taa Da.. this is the finished product.. It is 16 x20 inches.. and I keep wanting to call it a painting even though it was a collage. .. hmm painted with paper.
