Abstract using plastic bag to mix colours on canvas

Acrylic paint on 8x8 inch (20 x 20cm) stretched canvas
A thin layer of Atelier Interactive acrylic paint (pthalo blue, pthalo turquoise, cobalt turquoise lt, pthalo green and titanium white) was randomly brushed all over the canvas.

When dry, these same colours were placed in globs straight from the tube around the canvas. A sheet of freezer paper was crumpled and then covered the wet paint. I gently pushed all over to mix the colours together. The freezer paper was removed while the paint was still wet leaving a ridged texture all over. The paint was quite thick and a lot came off with the freezer paper.

The painting has been sealed with Atelier Interactive Fast Medium/Fixer.
