Transition!

Today Rains promt is Your favorite decade today.  Well, as I live in the present and don´t take much attention to the past so I cheat a little bit today. When it comes to favorite decades it will certainly never be the present one. Who wants to remember Corona, fire and floods?

Transition is the place where the unknown future becomes the known past. Constantly moving in time. 

I had a dream the other morning and I follow that! I dreamed I painted the floods! It took some testing before I got to it. So, this week I painted and photographed my very first Dark art! Not sure where this will take me. I feel torn about it! My second alias has always been Catching Light! Not the dark!

I worked on A3 watercolor paper. 

First try I grabbed some color tubes, thought it was acrylic or watercolor but I misstook it and it was oil. The tubes look similar so mistakes are likely. Because of that the color did not work at all as I thought it would. It flowed very reluctantly over the paper. 

Beach!

Well, I kind of like it and went to fetch some of my shells, and Voila, I have a beach. 

OK, next step on a new paper ended up with: 

Crossing!

Painted with oil and acrylic. 

Floods disaster!

Finally, this is pretty much what I dreamed. No image used as inspiration. Just the phootage seen on the news. 

In this case the dish soap made the oil more fluid. And cleaning up was easier. 

That was the floods, lets finish with an old piece with fire.

The fire!

painted with Tempera on an old LP-record. 

This week I had problems with the oil and how to dry the painting and to clean the brushes. 

First I learned on YouTube that in some cases you can quich up the drying by putting some kind of tissue over it. It kind of soakes up a little oil and it dries quicker. 

The next was to get the paint more fluid and to clean brushes and hands. Using that dishing soap solved those problem. The soap also created some nice cells if you like that. 

😂 

Hope you don´t mind I twisted Rains promt today. 

There has been a lot of flooding and fires across the world this week. In sweden we only had a little flooding in the south part. Nothing we could not handle so far. 

Take care. And use the mask to keep safe from fire smoke as well!
