Fun flowers

Painting by Vicky Christensen, mixed media on 14 x 18 inch canvas 

Just finished this one. It started with blobs of paint that I manipulated with deli paper, then layers of stencils, high flow acrylic drips, collage of painted deli paper and high flow acrylic applied through a Fineline applicator. I finished it off with translucent and transparent glazes.

Here's how it progressed:

I haven't done a serendipitous abstract painting for a while so I started a couple new paintings using deli wrap to spread color around. After some layers of drips and stencils, I finished this one today. I like the shape of aspen leaves, so that was my motif for this painting.

I bought a pad of Canson Plein Air Canva Artboard and decided to give it a try today. I thought it might be good for quick studies, and the resulting paintings should take up much less storage space than wrapped canvas. I used mostly fluid acrylics to complete this painting.
