Materials are my best friends. I had fun with them today. First I glued down a base of wax paper over which there were layers of matte medium from it being m work sheet. I then took a palette knife and spread orange acrylic thinly over the surface which showed the nice texture of the wax paper. Then I added gesso to the mix. I had planned on adding just a few lines, but I got carried away and applied it over the entire surface. Still not satisfied I applied some red acrylic with a piece of wax paper, pressing it on thinly. I followed that with a glaze of the remaining red with some gloss gel medium. It still didn’t speak to me! So I took one last piece of plain, old, wax paper and applied that as a final top layer. Success! Somehow it pulled everything together and made it a whole. Yay, now I can go out and enjoy this amazing day!
Mmmmm, Materials – Wax paper, acrylic, gesso!
