Some of my older paintings

My friend, Nicole, hosts Sunday in the Art Room.  For this week, my decision is to show a couple of my older paintings.  When I started painting,  I wanted to paint in the impressionistic style.  But as I went on, I got into non-representational art and experimental art.  I still enjoy both.   

The two I am showing you today are both experimental art, but they are impressionistic and representational.  

First up - an experiment with charcoal powder.  The powder was sprinkled on the watercolor paper then some water was poured/dripped onto it to create patterns.  That was left to dry and then paint was added. 

 I named this Painted Lands. I honestly have no idea what happened to this painting. 
I may still have it stashed away somewhere. 

Next up is Enchanted Path.  For this, I took a "failed" painting and covered it with a clear  gel medium. 

After that dries, take a dark color, diluted with glazing medium and coat the entire painting. Then lift the dark paint in places with whatever, I used a bristle brush and paper towels. After I let that dry I added a few bits of light into some of the darker areas.

This certainly turned a "failed" painting into something interesting. 

Both of these remind me that I need to pull out art supplies and just PLAY.

Until Next Time,
