abstract art..

(please pardon my typo.. oops)

This is a test piece for a collaboration I'm working on with Sarah Mack
I wanted to play with the idea of combining different elements.. differently in a poor. The first test is using the floating cup technique.

My colours are Artminds DIY candy apple, Sargent copper, Rust-Oleum metallic accents gold mine, Arteza's Pearl olive green with a bit of black added, black, and a white base coat of house paint mixed with floetrol and water.



This is a 14 inch square canvas. I layered a small paper cup with my paints ..putting the black between each colour. I then flipped it on to the white base coat... poked a hole in the cup and let it float and release the paint.
From here it's a matter of tilting.. shmearing.. working in composition.. I also added a few great big shmears with the Amsterdam formula to create pretty lacing and cells.

I broke my favourite pallet knife during this painting.. it was just right.. ya know?

Watch for a couple of really exciting collaborations coming up.
One with our very talented Sarah Mack, and one with the one and only.. Tammy Russell Anderson.

If you don't already know these artists.. I don't know where you have been.. Both are ground breaking fluid artists.. who have inspired me along the way..
Also planning to play with some magic potions with Sara Taylor.. You need to see what she has been doing..
I love her eye for colour and composition..

2021 is turning out to be a good year.
Let's keep playing with pigments and making beautiful things.
I could watch the magic in the chemistry of paint all day long...
