Windows to Spring Cyndi Lavin, 2017 |
The background is heavy watercolor paper that was rolled with Cobalt teal acrylic paint. I added tar gel swirls over top of that and waited for it to dry completely. Then I covered it with diluted white gesso and scraped that back off so that the lines and some parts of the background were revealed again.
I used Hansa yellow light, Pyrrole orange, Quinacridone magenta, and Permanent green light to augment the Cobalt teal background. Eventually, after failing to come up with an overall design that I liked (several days worth of fooling around with it), I cut it into squares and rectangles. Several more hours were spent figuring out how to put them together! The new background is another piece of watercolor paper, rolled with Carbon black and Phthalo turquoise acrylics.
