Spring Blows In Cyndi Lavin, 2017 |
I poured acrylic paints that had been prepared with pouring medium and silicone oil. Now that I look at this shot again, I think part of the problem may have been that the paint was just not poured thickly enough.
I swiped in an arch with white paint, but the few cells that formed were ragged. So I continued swiping until the paint was smeared together and covering the whole piece. I adjusted the colors and sprayed it with a bit more silicone to allow the colors to slide around a bit.
Just before the piece was fully dry, I misted it with alcohol and dripped black ink from the top with a pipette. The ink skittered because of the alcohol and silicone. Turned upside down, I had some more of my beloved trees, looking like they were partially obscured by the arching colors.
