Another First







The first stretched canvas I've attempted...

Here is a sneek peek!



phase 1



Using Acrylics wet into wet I've smeared what turned out to be be a quite accurate interpretation of Painted Rocks. I decided not to use any of my metalic or pearlized paints on this one. I wanted to see if I could get a wet look without my usual crutch of light reflecting paints.



phase 2



I decided it needed more colour. I remembered falling in love with the copper painted areas of the Painted Rocks and so plunked it in. I used a small flat brush to create the swirled texture. At this juncture I started to wonder if I should go over all of my coloured areas with this technique. The more I looked at it the more I felt that while that might be really intense and fun... it wasn't for this project. I'll be letting you in on this painting as it progresses... I think I have some really cool ideas for it!!Check in on me from time to time and don't forget to let me know what you think!Thanks everyone!!
