I was working on a project, and got an idea. I've got this paper that looks like wood. It has a wood grain look to it. I decided to cut the paper into strips, squares and rectangles. Then I glued them to a couple of small pieces of canvas. I let it dry and then painted on top of it. This was the result. I LOVE IT! It was one of those Thank You God moments.
Felecia told me it looks like the D R (Dominican Republic). I agree.
I've got a couple of new projects where you'll be seeing this technique. Stay tuned!
But what should I do with my little experiments? I like them, but they're not finished pieces of art. Got any ideas?
Well, it looks like you're having more fun than you can stand! I totally understand your love of texture. I suggest you add a very abstract image in the same colors you are already using. Try different ways of suggesting the form of your image such as a palette knife or cut up an old credit card in different strips and paint with that. fiddle around with the edges by adding a bit of water to the edge immediately after applying the paint....and blotting gently with a kleenex. You go, girl!
