I have been splashing black and white colors and glitter all over the place yesterday. I like photographing them on my balcony floor. Think it gives a nice background.
😀

 This was really a messed up one taht turned out OK. It is a canvas 21x30 cm and not compleately dry.

I also created two circular fluids dia30cm and was playing around a bit with patterns.

I borrowed a book at the Library, COLOUR. a workshop for artists and designers. Seems very interesting and made me whish I was younger. At my age everything seem to be "to late" but I think I can use some of the knowledge in the book. Mainly about blending and light. 😎🤔

Sun is shining today and it seem to be a fine, slightly chilly and fresh autumn day. So, I will take a long walk.  😃

Mistakes good and bad

 Click image to enlarge!
 Skratch
This is a small one 20x20cm that I did not like and tried to "fix" but the colors dried and messed up. Finally I got tired and skratched the canvas with my nails. That´s how this happened. Colors a bit enhanced in Photoshop.

Flow and blow
Colors on black LP blown away with a straw. Was rather pleased with it.

Flames
But then I happened to move it and the colors ran wild. But I have to say I like it. It looks like colorful flames to me :) This is what it looks dried. Except for the blue circle, That is PS.

Whatever
Not sure how this will end :(

I was trying to follow a video tutorial on YouTube. A 10 minute nature scene. And the artist was done with trees and all. This is what I made in 30 min. :( It is much to dark, the colors dried too quickly and did not "flow" as was shown in the video. The teachers often forget that newbies don't know how the colors work. His paint was soft and fluid. Mine isn´t. They forget to tell you the thickness of the paint. They also forget we don´t have the experience of painting even the simplest landscape. We have to think and figure out. An artist with years of experience just do it with their spinal cord. :)
And, how much paint do they have on their brushes? It seem to be enough for the entire painting sometimes. They paint and paint and there are still color in the brush? Using magic??

Well, I have not given up yet. It has to be brighter. I have to paint white over it and then I see what it looks like.
 If you wonder, I have worked as a teacher too, but in an other area.

Hope you guys have a great Friday and weekend. We have a lot of snow now. Not good for long walks.

Kind of messy balloonart

An LP as a test object for "balloon" art. Using a balloon to create the flower like patterns.

This was fun to work with. And it did not take that much color as a pour does. Also gives you more control of patterns. The balloon press the color out in a circual pattern. I added a few more drops of colors during the dripping balloon process.
