Day 27 - 30 Paintings in 30 Days

Day 27 - No title yet.

11" x 11" - Acrylic on paper

This started with a lot of black mark making using acrylic paint pens and black acrylic paint applied with a stick and different brushes. Then I washed on some diluted red, green and gold. The paper was a complete mess by that point! My next step was to cover over most everything with Black, White, Grey and the one area of Light Green using a palette knife. I let some of the under painting show through and did some scraping and scratching so the colors did not look too flat. I not sure that this is done. The large black shape on the right might need to be changed.

7" x 5" - Acrylic on paper

I completed this small abstract earlier in the month. I have been out of the studio for 2 days so I am in catch-up mode. This painting has lots of texture created with paint applied with a squirt bottle, scraping and mark making with knitting needle, and more texture with palette knife adding layers of paint.
