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.

Great leap.
ReplyDeleteHi, 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.
ReplyDeletegood to see further leaps being made. not enough 'artists' do that. and incorporating last week's effort? sublime.
