Day 4 . . . an abstract acrylic painting, using red, yellow, black and white.
I had something in mind while painting this, but I'd rather not say for a bit to see what people get from it. Plus, abstract is supposed to be . . .well . . . abstract. :) I haven't done much abstract work, but it actually took quite a long time. I think that was because my perfectionist mentality seeped in today, but I managed to eventually walk away...
What I would have done differently: put in a white wash background at the beginning and allowed it to dry. It was a pain how the colors seemed to fuzz outward slightly, catching all the little bumps of the canvas.
Cheers!
PS. sorry about the reflection from the flash . . . again, it's passed midnight and the lighting is terrible. maybe I'll take a better one tomorrow.
Octopus?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Caroline. The first thing that came to mind was an octopus.
ReplyDeleteBlack and red, the Anarchists colours, merging over a washed out, faint hearted liberal yellow - am I reading too much into this? I never knew you had it in you, Monica, keep up the good work!
