Dear friends and followers,
I just finished a new abstract painting, which I made using acrylic colors on canvas.
Acrylic on Canvas 100 x 81cm (39.37 x 31.89 in)
Here is a bit of a making-of:
After I painted some green-brownish camouflage background, I first dripped some red, followed by some blue on the canvas. As you can see, I sometimes try to drip some faces or the like, only to smear them with the brush again in the next step.
This gave me an interesting abstract background again.
Time to add a few yellow highlights...
... and smear them with a broad brush again.
Now I added some black for the shadows.
But instead of smearing them, I decided to dapple on the blacks with different sized brushes.
This way I got an interesting look, that has some similarities with hatching and also with impressionism.
After the colors had dried, I was able to view the painting in daylight for the first time.
I guess, it would also work vertically:
I'm still a bit undecided, if the work is finished or if I should add another (lighter) layer.
What do you think? - Please let me know in the comments.
Thanks for watching and have a great sunday!
