That stripey thing from last week has become a forest
This is a 9x12 tree. Put in a stripey background and then went over it with a wet brush. It was like painting white on dark paper.
This is a 5x7. I filled the background with indigo and perylene maroon and let it sit overnight so that not all of it came up leaving a ghostly pattern. Once I had the tree in I put some dark green over the background to give it more contrast.
Hey, these are interesting Ken. My favs are the first and last. Cool brushwork, color and movement. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteI like this direction alot. You're playing into the Yupo's strengths with the ability to wash away bits. And your use of staining colors to leave ghost images is brilliant. I'm especially fond of the first and last ones as they seem more painterly and less "orderly"--although I really like the background on the middle one.
ReplyDeletethese are very cool. The brushwork and colors of the first one are a good combo. Also like the background n the second one. I like the little yellow sheen on the trunks in both 1 and 2. I like the repetition of the tree trunks in 1….
ReplyDeleteThese will take u somewhere…no end to possibilities with trees.
ReplyDeleteThe last tree is interesting. You could go a lot further with it. Just let the paint run.
