Poppies On Action Painting


This was a big leap for me. This is why I am entering Poppies in the IMT Challenge this week. I usually try all kinds of techniques and never do anything with them. The background here is the action painting prompt I did last week for IMT. I wanted to use it as a background for a painting or collage. I really did not know what to do with it. Normally I over think things and then either nothing happens or I don't like what I spent so much time thinking about. So to me the leap was taking the next step quickly and without over thinking it.

  1. Hi, thanks for your comment.. I actually used some water based printing ink that i normally use for lino printing. I find the colours are a lot more vibrant. And I used some silver acrylic paint also.

  11. This is fantastic - I'd have this painting on my wall. I love the depth in it - the layers of colour and texture - it deserves to be looked at for a long time. Well done - glad your leap of faith turned out so well!
