“Copper Explosion”

This piece was designed using the dutch pour technique. The blue background is meant to accent the copper and gold colors.Onyx is used as contrast.

I loved making this painting! It was produced on an 8in x 10in x 1/2in canvas, the first one I’ve done using negative space that is not white or black--black space may also be called positive space. 

After adding the colors and attempting to cover them with the blue, I initially pushed all of the colors off the canvas with the hairdryer, which wasn’t my intention at all.

Once I had a better idea of what I wanted to see, I put fresh dollops of color onto the canvas and reattempted to commence with the dutch pour. The second time was a success.

This was my second dutch pour, but the first I had ever filmed. I haven’t attached the video, but may do that on a later date.

“Lara’s Song”

This piece is an 18in x 24in x 1/2in fluid acrylic painting which used 4 tree ring pours to complete on a white background. The colors that accent the piece are blue (which was mixed from a darker blue and white), rojo gold, and Xanadu gold.

I named this piece after my cocker spaniel because this is one of the first pieces that she really seemed to enjoy, and she kept sniffing it!

I will post weekly, if not more! Pouring paint and designing with an unknown is so relaxing and I love o share my work with my audience!
