This was painted using an interesting technique from my mixed media class yesterday. I started with splattering watered down fluid acrylic paint [Golden] over a piece of watercolor paper. Most of the surface was covered in this way. When that dried, I used chalk to sketch the subject, being careful to make interesting negative shapes behind the flowers.
Next I used juicy opaque yellow paint on the background and voila!!! out popped the flower and table shapes. A translucent [white and blue/green] paint was used to define the glass vase. I then puttered with the flowers to define them better but left some of the dots and white paper showing through. Then I painted a transparent reddish glaze [lots of water added] over the table area. Once dry, I put the shadow in.
I finished this at 2am and I am unrepentant!!! I’ll get my days and nights straightened out eventually. Really… I WILL! Ciao.
