Wide Acrylic Painting with Several Techniques

I HAD A WIDE CANVAS

and wanted to paint over the previous work.

 

First I did a quick, light wash over most of the unwanted painting with diluted white gesso.

 

 

 

 

 

When dry, I painted thick swatches of paint as shown below.

Work quickly now!

 I used Pthalo blue and burnt sienna liquid

airbrush colors, fluid transparent

 Pyrrole Orange, and a couple other

purple and blue colors.

 

Next, before the paints could dry, I used a spray bottle of water, and tilted the canvas to encourage blending and running.

Blue and orange are complements.



Painting techniques that might enhance this piece are spattering, blown ink lines, and/or freehand mark-making.
