So, the pattern piece has taken a bit of a turn. I became interested in the interaction of the flat black paint and the built up gloss paint below. It creates a subtle visual texture. From a distance it may seem that it is a poor imitation of a Rothko color field . . . but that will change in the coming days.
detail - you can see there is a bit of blue in he black as well
detail - evidence of the original student's texture
Here is the working space at this point. You can see my black tool box that will hold my art supplies and the drafting table that served as our dining room table for several years.
This is part of a larger stencil cut for the department of Music @ CUNE
This is a textural exploration which also plays with the flat black paint. This and a second piece were scanned and inverted to white and will serve as the texture on a graphic design project.
I'm curious, was it your experimentation with the black paint on the canvas that led to you making the textural explorations for your graphic design project or the other way around?
ReplyDeleteIn either event, they are all nice. The subtle qualities on the canvas are very interesting. Yellow and black are such dynamic colors to use together.
D - yeah, the small piece was something I had in the studio that I wanted to make more subtle. My first thought was to paint a semi-opaque white wash over it, but then I thought about inverting the color and creating the same effect with the black. Once I had done it on the small piece, it only felt right to do it on the larger one as well. Today it got a pattern of gloss clear over the top of that, and then green. So it is quite different than is shown here. Pretty sure it is ruined at this point, but we'll see where it goes next.
