some more......

The adventures with mylar continue. It's now become more about painting then experimenting. I thought I would share three of the pieces that worked the best. These three are done with acrylic and oil pastel. I tried building up with pieces of muslin also. I like where that is going but nothing to show just yet. I've kept my palette to raw umber, black and white. I'm enjoying this process very much and would encourage anyone to try this type of surface. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Jeane these works are so rich and textural. Love them.

Sharmon Davidson said...

I love these; looks like you've been having fun! I used to work on acetate all the time- amazing how things look different on these surfaces. I really like the umber/black/white palette too!

Sort of reminds me of how I work, only I work on glass. I have to think about how the composition will look in reverse as you do when you turn the image over.. Instead of paper backing, I use cement. Love these images Jeane.

Jeane said...

hello Wyn, thank you, so glad you came by :)

thank you bdgirl, so glad you like them and came by :)

it's very interesting to me Sharmon, because I have to work backwards and I find that awkward and I like that :)

good morning David, thank you! ditto, I'm a huge fan of your work :)

hello Petras, thank you, glad you like them xo

good morning William - your mediums amaze me and I'm almost ready to try a bit of your 'cement'! Yes, this working backwards puts a very different spin on the process! :)

Robin Kent said...

Can't say anything differently from the previous posts other than when I grow up I want to paint like you! (Might be a little late for me now...)
Love the textures (I paint on wood) and organic feeling you get with your different intermediate mediums. And a big thank you for sharing your processes. Will try it out someday when I'm a little older...and more mature!

This piece is so warm and contemporary all in one. Love the use of black and the warm browns. Lovely.
