Loving the Weekend Work

Samples

Playing with meths and pigment/natural resin

I had such a great weekend

Saturday the weather was glorious

got out into the vegie garden

and got the weeding done

and then in the afternoon went down to beach 

for a little rock climbing

But the studio was the best fun of all 

Started by playing with pouring pigment/natural resin in meths

this is dry gesso which I have wet

indigo, lac, xanthorrhoea and ink

I could have left it like this but no

I put another layer of gesso over the top

and then worked inot it while it was wet

the same here but only using indigo, ink and xanthorrhoea

and the end result

after

the detail tells you why

I love this technique so much

Next weekend I will apply wax

and make some marks

such fun
