A Float



My instructor, Kara English gave a demo on how to make a "float" painting last week, and so I decided to give it a try this past weekend.  I bought four colors of spray paint: paprika, oregano, aqua and flat black.  Okay, actually I purchased five- also a can of metallic silver.  However, the silver spray paint was quite defective.  I placed my canvas out in the rain and let it pour down.  Then, I sprayed the colors over the wet canvas, making the cool watery patterns.  I am told this resembles 1990s furniture patterns . . .

Color Wheel


Color Wheel on 98 lb Canson paper using Prismacolor colored pencils.  I made this color wheel based on the instruction of Arlene Steinberg (Masterful Color).

The Process Red looks like more of a magenta to me.
