My latest painting - from beginning to end...

My latest painting is called 'Links in Blue and Brown'.

I started by laying on really wet paint, and then used a paper towel to smudge and remove the excess paint.





Then I added a few more colors, and used some dissolve and drip techniques to create a stone-like appearance.






Finally, I added the mod shapes and linked them together with raised white paint. I finished by painting the edges a dark brown and applying a protective varnish.



You can see more original artwork in my etsy shop.
