Hello Friends! Happy Sunday!
This is another piece from my Copper obsession 🥰 look at that shine!
In this piece, I really wanted to have my metallic pearl and copper play with the 24k Gold and Payne's Gray, so I started with 3 wandering ring pours on the canvas, but also let some areas come out as straight pours. I love the effects created by how the colors blend from a straight pour, just so pretty to me. Im calling it my #FantasyPour
My colors are:
Chroma Molten Metals Copper
DecoArt Americana Decor Metallics in Pearl
DecoArt Americana Decor Metallics in 24K Gold
Golden's Payne's Gray
Windsor & Newton Van Dyke Brown darkened with some Golden's Fluid Acrylics Van Dyke Brown
My pouring medium was Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish, water and some Floetrol
After I was finished tilting, and really looked at it, there was one area with a rather big section of gold that was bothering me, so I started using my palette knife and then my finger to add some texture and bring in some more colors to that area... the branches I added looked like coral growing under the Sea to me. I liked how it was blending with the Pearl and gold and dark navy when I ran my fingertip through them, it was very beautiful to me.
There are no rules when you are painting, and letting your creativity flow and wander will sometimes allow amazing things to happen in your work. Don't be afraid to touch your piece, and change what you don't like. Fingers are amazing tools, you have so much control of how much pressure you apply or what shapes you create. We allow children to fingerpaint and explore their creativity, as adults we should not be afraid to do the same. Go have fun!
