More Abscraps

[Donna T]

The scraps continue. These aren't exactly successful but each one was a learning experience. I've been watching many YouTube videos on oil and cold wax instruction and it seems that they all get some nice layers going and then destroy them and make mud and start over. You really have to let the layers set up or the paint just slips around and blends too easily. I kept to a limited palette but the phthalo blue insisted on taking the lead, maybe because it's so hot where I live and the color feels so cool. Both of these are over at least one previous painting so I don't feel bad about wasting materials. oil and cold wax on paper 10x10 and 6x6

Beautiful blues in both. The graduate muted color in the bottom 3/4 of the bottom piece is extremely alive.

I love these Donna and the top blue one particularly it reminds me of the coast around Sydney, Australia - inviting (especially during a heatwave which were unusually having in the UK!).

Thanks Jennie, Wayne, Jade and Arty! I’m not sure where I’m going with these things but it’s nice to learn along the way.

I'd honestly what that blue one in my house, Donna. There's something really captivating about it.
