GET IN THE FLOW

Using  fluid acrylics in my intuitive paintings led to experimenting more with them.  I used the Golden brand of fluid acrylics.  I also tried making my own.    Letting the paint flow while turning the canvas leads to some interesting results.  Sometimes I use a palatte knife and make marks by pulling the paint.  Sometimes I add splatters.  Mostly I just have a blast.

“I see the light and the heat”….Peter Gabriel

Just got back from a four-day painting class in Provincetown.  The purpose was to go deeply into color and value by doing studies of colored blocks. Following in the path of the Impressionists, we painted outdoors and tried to see the colors within the objects.  The heat of the light and the cools in the shadows.
