STUDIO UPDATE

I have recently started a new series within my project which is heavily influenced by my love of paint. I have decided to take on a different approach to painting and instead of painting realistically, I have tried to have more fun with the actual process of creating my work. In this series I am using a mix of glue, water, acrylic paint and oil. After applying the paint to the surface I am using acetate paper to spread the paint around, causing the oil to react and cause this effect. These experimental paintings are inspired by nature, including plants and flowers and the technique I have used is to create an abstract take on these natural materials. I have added blue to most of my pieces to represent water, and so far I am liking the outcome of these pieces. I like how I don't have much control over the end product as the patterns continue to part and change until dry, I definitely want to try incorporating actual flowers into these pieces and perhaps try this on a bigger canvas.
