#playingwithpaint

I am pushing patterns here, laying down some color, and then overlaying with fabric and rice paper. It’s a totally flat piece albeit colorful. I think I need to let the background recede more. It was too much fun layering, so I got carried away and time and materials took over. Along the top, mostly on the right, I am covering up mistakes. This is not a keeper— simply an exercise on its way to who knows what? #fabriccollage #africanfabric #africanpattern #ilovecolor #abstractcollage #abstractart #mixedmedia #playingwithpaint #playingwithcolors #colorfulart #scissorsandglue #collageartist #womenshistorymonth #womensart #womeninthearts #womenartists #njartist #njart #andrearosegrillo https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNqXDMsZZh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another painting experimenting with the Sennelier oil sticks. Inspired by sea views of Carmarthanshire rather than actual views, this is another doodle just getting a feel for what these oil bars do. Oil bars develop a skin when left to sit. I think that you’re supposed to peel them off but I’ve purposely incorporated them into the texture of the paint. Not sure if this is finished or not. I’ll see how I feel about it in a few days. I love colour and I especially love the iridescent effect that you get with layers of oil paints. There’s a richness to them that I just can’t seem to get with any other medium. I’m definitely finding playing with paint relaxing and very grounding in between building a new business and trying to organise a mountain of stuff. It’s a very fine sort of self care that restores body and soul. Remembering the peace I feel by the sea also helps. 30cm x 40cm oil on canvas #consciousart #mindfulrelaxation #playingwithpaint #oilpaintingoncanvas #seascapepainting #blue https://www.instagram.com/p/CjVLsxnq3_Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just started this one and I’m just laughing at how it differs so much from what was in my head. It’s nothing like what I had planned and I dig it! I think this is the point of creative output, just start and then see where it goes…… #happysunday #artsy #playingwithpaint (at Arcata, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjPC9byLAkE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ll just be in the backyard reading #therethere by #tommyorange . I highly recommend it! What are you guys reading?

The final illustration behind our IGTV recordings with @suedraylcf in her studio. The piece is a demonstration of testing techniques with gold and phthalo turquoise paint, using bubble wrap and cardboard as bold mark making tools. The artwork was created in preperation of @suedraylcf fashion illustration workshops (Dates TBC) which Sue will be hosting as part of the project, creating promotional imagery to highlight the exciting nature of the workshops that will take place! #fashioningyourfuture for @foh.brent project for @brentcouncil . #fashionillustration #fashionillustrationsketch #playingwithpaint #brent #boroughofcultures #londonboroughofculture #mylocalculture #culture #arts #london #community #heritage #thisistheboroughofcultures #2020CultureFund #fashion #design #warrenreilly #fashioningourhistory #fohbrent #history #fashionhistory #youngpeople #youth #community #edcuation #fashionillustration #suedray #suedraylcf (at London Borough of Brent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ9FJwHAv72/?igshid=bmk8iozysokk
