Exploring Abstraction (May and June 2015)

Acrylic skin painting.  The skins have been attached to the paper.  You can use things like matte medium or polymer medium to attach the skins to paper, canvas, a painting, etc.

Caulk painting with a coat of acrylic paint followed by a coat of Liquitex Clear Gesso.  After it has dried for a day I started applying some colored pencil (yellow, blue, and white).

Caulk painting - I have been working on this working towards a finished piece.

I traced the objects on one of the paintings and started adding the "tape" shapes.

Weaving.  This is a full weaving where 2 paintings are cut into strips and weaved together.  This can be done keeping the 2 paintings in order which is interesting for representational paintings.  This is a good use for those paintings that are not going well or are boring.

Weaving - this is weaving used on parts of a painting.  This can be used in interesting ways on works in progress.

Rubber Cement resist texture painting.  I have done a little more to work on the composition and movement.
