Aqueous Acrylic and Gouache (March and April 2015)
Acrylic on a canvas panel (prepped with flat white house paint). First I wet the panel and dropped in color. Then I added sea salt when it was shiny, but not a puddle. After that was dry I removed the salt and I transferred the drawing. Then I painted the black part of the rooster with a medium-dark gray.
Gouache on paper. I wet the paper, applied color, and put scrunched plastic wrap on top. I left this until it was dry. I will use this to paint a gouache rooster.
First I drew a square where the window would be placed. Then I wet the square and added the landscape colors. After this was dry I did the outside of the square with a warm gray. I spritzed it with a fine water spray after it was starting to dry. After it was dry I transferred the drawing.
