The underpainting:
I
had an idea for this. I wanted lots of colour and raised swirls on this
one. So at this stage I went to the nearest town to see what I could
find in the way of relief paint. The local art store was closed - it
closes between 12:30 and 3pm for lunch - only in France! There is
another store, part of a supermarket chain, that sells art materials,
books and mixed media. Their art supplies are gradually dwindling but I
did find some white relief paint. Triumphant I got ready to try my
artistic swirls. The relief paint was TRANSPARENT not white. Ugh!
Undaunted I added more colour and, no surprises, I think it is turning into an abstract floral.
Will it become a floral? Or can I resist the urge and do something different?
By the way, does anyone know what to do with transparent relief paint?
