Painting Tests: Acrylic, blue white and black
- Using too much black to begin with.
- A transfer with what's left over on the ink roller picks up the finer details.
- A thick layer of paint which includes the blue, black and white which form the main bulk of the colours from the mild steel manipulation tests. The process at the moment is the same process that I use when welding onto mild steel - which is intrinsic and complete when I feel like the pattern has been evenly distributed for aesthetic affect.
- A thinner layer of the previous page. This worked slightly better to give an even coverage of paint.
Reflection:
- The paintings above were created by dotting an even distribution of each colour in a line at the start of the page - which upon reflection I'm not sure is the best way of painting. I think if I try to dot the paint onto the paper in a similar way to how the welding patterns look, then i'll achieve a more coherent look, one which the viewer can make the connection between the pieces more easily.
- I need to conduct more paint tests before painting on the wooden board, and really define a process of painting.
- The experiments with less paint create more intricate details, however the thicker paint creates more details within the paint, reminiscent of Glenn Brown's paintings.
- The criss cross effect that I mastered on my last canvas painting would be employed here too, with a constant overlay of the Criss-cross of paint until the paint has blended into each other and created a subtle fade of tones.
- Overall, trying to Criss-cross the mediums of painting and sculpture through this painting process, perhaps a thicker and more texturised painting style would work in my benefit.
