I have always had a frustration with my method/style of painting in that it takes so soooo long to do where 1 painting could take from 1 to 7 months, although the paintings look good (ref previous post) I don’t have enough patients to be working on several paintings at a time that won’t be done for months at a time.
I just so happened to have a bunch of ink in a range of colours laying around and also some small canvases so some trial and error commenced.
Initially I placed some tape over a section of the canvas to leave some white space for some further acrylic painting, but instead the ink seeped through the tape and left this cool pattern on the canvas.
I chose to paint some patterns in the white space left by the tape, along with a white line down the canvas for some contrast and it looked okay, but possibly would look better without the pattern work. I did some more experimentation, playing with different colour combinations.
