| I began experimenting with a new method for creating abstract wall art. My goal was to focus on texture and I started with a pencil drawing of an abstracted flower. I then scanned that into photoshop along with multiple hand painted oil textures. The textures were time consuming to make mostly because of drying time. I would apply multiple thin washes of color over the canvases and then once those layers had dried, I would "scumble" or drag stiff dry paint over the surface with a palette knife or bristle brush, which catches on the crests of the texture beneath, leaving a broken texture or color. I really love this effect because it adds richness and the colors mix optically, which really brings the surface to life. Once I brought all that into photoshop, I could begin to piece it together and overlay parts on top of the other. I'm not quite feeling like this is done... what do you think? Does it need a center of interest or does the texture and randomness keep you interested? |
