Tapestry

This is a piece that was created based on influences in life. It was intended to be abstract but somehow it seems more real than symbolic….

The plan

This is the start of an exercise in push and pull. I will layer on colors using 3 paint edges- hard edge, soft edge and a palette knife edge. It will be interesting to see how the same color reacts with each base color .

The journey

Understanding the concepts of colors and how they relate based on where they are in the painting and what they are next to is more work than I thought….. sometimes not thinking and just letting the canvas and colors guide you is easier….but understanding relationships certainly contributes to finishing the story.
