Painting Experiments 2

If you remember, I painted this:
But I wasn't happy with the results of my experiment painting through the cheesecloth. I decided to apply a wax resist, and then add more paint. And this was the result:

I really liked the squiggle on the left, and the circle motifs in the purple and green, so I thought , once it dried, I would add more paint to emphasize the saved light colours.


I added darker tones of the same colours, then topped with plastic wrap, smooshing the wrap and paint into shapes of coloured texture, and let it dry.

Once I removed the plastic wrap after drying, I was left with this:  But where were my saved light shapes? I guess the wax resist only works with one paint application! Who knew?
Darn! I really liked those 'lights.'
So, now what?
Another experiment?






I hope your experiments have more positive results!
Thanks for visiting.
