Artist Note
This was a demo for one of the
Artist Guild classes.
It is the last month
of the Guild sessions until August
and we are doing a refresher
of everything which has
been reviewed this semester.
I started this painting with a
dark transparent paint
covering
the board
and then I lifted off
the lighter design with a rag.
This exposes the white
of the canvas.
To make the main flower shape
whiter I used a brush
dipped in Gamsol to totally
lift off the underpainting.
I find it pretty easy to gradually
build up the shapes with
layers of color making sure
only one or two flowers
are a tad realistic and the rest
just abstract suggestions of color.
Maybe this is the easiest way of all
for floral still life paintings.
I bet most of you have tried it.
What do you think?
