Get Your Paint On | Week Two

            11x14
acrylic paint, gel medium, wax, fabric, papers, stitching

I started out this week intending to do something with large blocks of color. I really liked some of the things I saw on Jennifer Sanchez's website last week (she was the featured artist in class). 

At certain points throughout the week this canvas contained large blocks of pure color. Over time it morphed - there is such a huge lesson for me in the waiting and the letting it happen. There were many times I was frustrated with the amount of layers I was ending up with and I have a certain level of impatience with waiting for paint to dry. 

Today though I moved in a new direction, inspired somewhat by Donna Watson (found her featured in book called Masters Collage), back towards a more neutral overall tone (vs. the pure red and pure turquoise I had on certain days this past week). 

I took my base painted layers and built a group of boxes on top. Within each box I did something, including stitching fabric directly onto the canvas. 

I might mess with it some more, but for now, it's taking a rest.
