Not much for you to read this busy week — instead I’m relying mostly on images to share my thoughts and progression.
I’ve continued to explore along the theme of positive and negative, but have stepped briefly away from painting on silk, reverting instead to pencil on Dura-Lar.
I felt like I needed to move back a bit, trusting that it would ultimately help to push me forward.
In doing so, the complexity of color is removed in favor of value alone.
I like the way the translucency of the Dura-Lar facilitates the idea of positive vs negative in terms of depth, but by using layers that are so obviously flat.
It’s another way to elicit the visual shift between image and surface that I find so fascinating.
Beautiful….keep on pushing.
What’s making an impression on me is the benefit of cross-pollination between mediums.
A wonderful and exciting dimensional playfulness. Endless possibilities by changing the sequence of the different layers. Any thoughts of doing the same with colored pencils as yet another step back to push forward?
I’m really enjoying the different things that pop forward depending on the order of the layering. Great idea about the colored pencils!
