This is a squeegee painting I did at Donna Lexa Art Centers on Monday.
I decided to do a small painting over the original painting. I added nuance to my black by adding red and blue.
I got the reference photo from Unsplash. It’s a site with free images.
I’m going to go ham on it with paint pens and gel pens. I’m going to make it me.
The below is the community painting at the studio. When you have too much paint left over, you put it on this painting. This tradition makes me want to bring texture to my own work.
I ruined it, but that’s kind of the point. The community painting has nine lives. My good work always gets covered. I’ve learned not to do anything too detailed and get attached
For the rest of class, I worked on 5-by-7 watercolor paper. Greeting cards! It’s a new hobby of mine. More on that in a future post.
