Some More Bubbles and Blue

For the last week, I played a bit more with bubbles :)

A new painting on a 60x80 cm stretched canvas was started as always with some home made gesso and recycled paper collage.

Then, I added one of the glimmer mists from The Tattered Angels Paint System - the Chalkboard spray called Decadence.

The next layer was created peeling a couple of cooked beetroots over the canvas and rubbing it in with my hands :)

And so on, and so on, at one point adding some of the Tattered Angels paint called Dirty Martini to each of the bubbles and trying out the new supplies from my great haul as well.

Yesterday, I covered it with a satin varnish tinted with the Phthalo blue paint by Amsterdam using a wet sponge and called it finished.

More Circles

Like I said, I'm playing with circles. Do you remember the collage I showed you a week ago?

It turned into this painting by the end :)

And these are the stages it went through

As you can see (probably you can't and have to believe me :) ) I have added some of the blue glimmer mist from The Tattered Angels Paint System Fall/Winter from A New Day Art Studio to this piece as well.

My Kind of Collage

Like I said yesterday, I have started to prepare new canvases. And this is, how I usually do it: I glue down all kinds of recycled paper with white PVA glue. After it's dry, I cover it with fluid acrylic mat medium using it as a substitute for clear gesso. If I know, what color I want the first layer to be I add some acrylic paint to it. This is the latest one (sorry for the blurry image: it was late and dark again :) ).

And I have even covered the canvas with two layers of paper. At first, I covered the whole canvas with newspaper and pages from my kids old school workbooks. When that layer was dry, I started to cover it with the medium adding torn pieces of recycled paper I had mono printed with acrylics some time ago and black and burnt umber acrylic paint. Now, it's dry and waiting for the next layers to be added.

Some More Blue

On Tuesday, my health had improved enough to go to the Evening Studio in the town, so I could continue working at the painting I started there. First of all, I added some of the blue glimmer mist from The Tattered Angels Paint System I received a week ago.

Then, I continued listening to it and my intuition as to what else needs to be added. When we left, it looked like this, and I have the feeling it's not far from being finished.

Now, I have to start thinking about a new surface to start a new painting on over there :)

Do you remember the blue vortex inspired by a video with Mooji from the same week? Last week, I've continued to work at it as well, as it felt too "blue" and too shallow for my liking. At some point, it looked almost completely black.

This is, how it looks now. I like it much more, but I definitely don't like the lines caused by the frame beneath the thin canvas, so I'm preparing new canvases for future paintings covering them completely with snippets of paper, some - even with more than one layer. And I think, I will paint over the collage with some dark color(s) as well.
