Interplay II

Detail
"Interplay II"


I've been working lately with hand made surfaces. Mixing a toothy acrylic medium (usual Art Spectrum clear primer) with an assortment of acrylic or other pigments, it is thinned and applied loosely, leaving a random brushy texture. The pastels are very responsive, and I'm liking it a lot.

This 12 X 18 painting is based on "Interplay I" , done a year or so ago. I really like doing painting based on previous images. I'm intrigued by the generations aspect.

These images are both descended from the same source, so they are third generation sisters.

For class demo, I talked about developing concepts with small quick sketches. These two, based on "The Thin Red Line" photograph were part of a series of 3-5 minute pastels.

This one, based on the same photograph, was developed in the Brushes App on the iPad for "Painting with Pixels" class demo.

I like to do series of quick sketches based on the same concept. The variations tend to flow easily, and it's satisfying to see where it goes. I never feel like I do enough variations, though. I always think the next one will be the best. Quick sketch sessions are the most fun I have as an artist. I also like the way these become generations, and each generation has it's own character.
