ABSTRACT FORCES 060410 (22 x 30)
Watercolor Board, Matte Medium, sand, acrylics, watercolor, stained rice papers, marbled papersacks, gessoed tissue paper, discarded watercolor paintings.
I brushed and sprinkled matte medium onto watercolor board, while the matte medium was still wet I sprinkled sand over the medium. When dry I brushed the excess sand off. I coated the watercolor board with one warm color and one cool color. I already had the papers prepared that I was going to use for the collage part. I adhered the papers to the board with matte medium. Sometimes I tore the papers and sometimes I cut them. I pulled the painting together by using large, medium and small collage pieces using mostly rectangle shapes with a few curvilinear shapes for contrast. For color organization I choose an analogous color scheme with some of their complements. I put my brightest color where I wanted my focus.
This piece is beautiful. These colors are just magical together. I could look at this all day.
Stunning. Really one of the most beautiful things in this gallery.
Nice use of color and lights and darks. Thanks for taking the time to tell us the processes you took to create your pieces.
Beautiful!
I absolutely love this! The cool greens and blues are wonderfully offset with the bright warm oranges…
Lovely work!
