| Paint the reverse painting on carbon paper with acrylic |
This week's klass on SketchbookSkool's
Expressing Klass was by
Penny Dullaghan. She spoke of experimenting with mark-making and how one sentence about Paul Klee had led her to experiment with a new technique with oil paints. I won't tell you what that was as you can join the class to find out. But one sentence she said struck me - acrylics dry too quickly. Now I'm impatient.
After a bit of experimenting in the morning and then letting things burble (see last image) I ended up using acrylics as a form of masking/stencilling.
I painted a scene (remember it will be the reverse on paper) with red acrylic on carbon paper.
1. I used it without it drying too much to see ... (with pencil marks)
2. then darker marks using a biro
3. then used the biro to fill it in a bit - wasn't too sure about red marks tried to make some into flowers
Now that the paint was dry, I tried again for a more ghostly effect
And then again on a paper with a bad acrylic wash (very impatient)
This shows all the experiments earlier in the day
