I have made some additions to the wolf painting.
from this:
to this:
This third pic shows the addition of a third colour--green. I'm not sure if I like it yet. There is some more definition I want to add, but I don't want to do too much as I'm concerned it might negate the freshness of it and the feeling of the painting growing out of those initial paint smears. What do you think?
Shirley began her Nebula Experiment:
Then I added a little:
with another 'planet' and some warmer colours...
This painting is a bit more realistic in nature and execution than the Wolf, but I want to soften edges a bit and capture a more mysterious and ethereal look. I think I may need to darken the background and create vapours of noxious gases, stars, and hint at the abstract. The dilemma is how best to go about doing that. So, I'm thinking about it, and trying to conquer that 'fear factor'.
What would you do? Add some acrylic white to create those gases? Wink out sections of the planets to soften the hard edge look and push them back into the darkness? Add acrylic metallic paints for some glimmer?
I hope you have fun experimenting with new ideas today.
Thanks for visiting.
