art journal painting

ARTPSpages1


This is the next page in my "Summer Series" art journal.  The "Summer Series" is much play and experimentation directing me in the next way to go.  It's important to me, to constantly seek new techniques to expand my work.  In this image, i painted my patterns on layers and layers with Golden Fluid Acrylics.  I first put down blocks of color, then outlined them with more color.  Then, painted leaves, dots, stripes and then shading the elements.


It's something different for me, NO WORDS!!!  I liked this painting just as it was, and decided not to word over it.

p.s. that little red smooge is some kind of UFPO (Unidentified Flying Paint Object)
