Apply New Method in large scale

From the previous post I was playing with a new method of using ink and tape to create cool textural patterns on canvas, I’ve always preferred artworks on large canvases and wanted to apply this method to a big canvas.

As seen there is the one of the smaller versions at the bottom of the canvas and the larger brother in the making. The photo also shows the tape that has been placed onto of the canvas in a rectangular shape.

Using pink, blue, purple and green inks in no particular pattern or order I threw them all over the canvas ensuring that the ink seeped underneath the tape.

Peeling back the tape left a cool pattern on the canvas that had the colours all scattered throughout. After taking off all the tape the canvas needed something more, I didn’t want to paint a pattern on it but knew it needed SOMETHING.

LEAF! I had never dealt with golden/silver leaf flakes before, but watched a couple videos from the University of YouTube and winged it. I can definitely improve my technique but the overall look I wanted was achieved.
