Goldfish Abstraction - Fishing for Compliments II

18x14 acrylics on matboard from an abstract underpainting using yellow, orange, and white Liquitex paints, similar to my first one.  Using phthalo blue and mint green I went around edges, negatively painting a goldfish shape, then added kelp seaweed in front of and behind him.  Fuchsia and olive green were other colors used for accents.

What Will it Be?


Yesterday I grabbed two acrylic yellows and one fluorescent red and using an old brush splashed colors onto a dry half sheet, 15x22 watercolor paper, then let dry.  I had in mind to do sunflowers loosely so let's see if that will happen or what will transpire.  Next into the wet paint I stretched long pieces of cheesecloth and two coffee filters, the brown cheap kind.  I'll add other colors to those such as Midnight Blue, Prussian, and Ultramarine along with permanent rose.

WIP Acrylic Underpainting

After working on acrylics on wrapped canvas there was all this nice juicy paint left, so what is an artist to do, waste it? I think NOT!!! I grabbed a really horrible watercolor done last year and wet its backside putting paint down and letting it mingle. At this wet stage am not too sure what it will be. Hmmm...
