As I have been working on my 24 experimental pieces, I have
become most excited about using various paste mediums for surface treatments. I
plan on continuing to use other media such as and not limited to: caran d’ache,
acrylic paints, oil pastels, graphite and paste mediums in order to create
textural foundations for my paintings.
My process usually starts by putting down a preliminary
surface and covering it with another, then I scratch into or wipe away the top
layer which leaves a pattern of antiquing or reveals an under layer of color. I
want to explore more sgraffito
techniques paired up next to different fibers, textured wallpapers, paste
mediums and found materials used as inclusions. Nature, form, texture,
composition and pattern will be my guide. I also plan to look into the
decorative arts as well as the work of artist Edda Renouf from the 50 x 50 show
at the VMFA.

Hope, I really enjoy the textures and movement you achieved!
ReplyDeleteGinny, thank you for taking the time to look. I am enjoying experimenting.
DeleteHope, your work is so organic and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope, there is a feeling of atmosphere in your work. You do a great job with texture an serene color. I have enjoyed your work so far and look forward to what's coming!
ReplyDeleteAmie was right, your pieces do photograph beautifully! I love how the pieces are small and intimate, but if you didn't know the size, I feel like they could translate as large pieces. Something about the lines make me feel as though these could be done the same on a very large scale.
