I used my hand to create a resist in this piece. I then went back through and adjusted some of the edges, in particular making some areas softer, so there was more variety. The whole process was really enjoyable--painting over my hand and getting rather messy. I don't think I am completely satisfied with the end result, however. I think is needs more value contrast or maybe the addition of another color. Perhaps I will play with it more later.

there is a series of paintings here waiting to be played with and explored... intriguing
ReplyDeleteRosemary, this could make a great series. The hand is visible enough that one can definitely tell what it is, yet subtle enough that it's interesting and doesn't look like just a hand-tracing. You've accomplished this hand resist in a very artful, sophisticated way.
