Step-by-Step Painting
This project takes you through the different steps involved in creating a layered
abstract painting. It makes use of textured and photocopied collage elements,
as well as stencils and fluid acrylic paint.1
A pre-gessoed canvas has been collaged
with a piece of striped Indian hand-printed
paper, a photocopy of the Phaistos Disc,
and a piece of corrugated cardboard.3
Titan Buff has further lightened some of
the collage.2
A piece of crumpled rice paper has been
glued on bottom right, and then painted
with a thin glaze of Transparent Yellow
Iron Oxide. The corrugated cardboard
has been given a glaze of Ouinacridone Crimson,
and the rest of the collage has been covered in a
thin layer of Zinc White, which is translucent. This
gets rid of the rather dead photocopy black.
