Abstract - geometric shapes

Acrylic paint on 12x16x1/2 inch (30x40x1.3cm) stretched canvas

Texture was created with Atelier Interactive Gel Medium and a painting knife.

Glazes made up of Matisse Gel Medium (gloss) mixed with Matisse Structure acrylics approx. 1:1. Transparent Yellow Oxide, Yellow Oxide, Naples Yellow, Venetian Red, Raw Umber, Burnt Umber, Transparent Umber, Burnt Sienna, Transparent Venetian Red and Titanium White were painted in rectangles. Titanium White plus water was splashed all over and lines of Carbon Black were pressed on with a painting knife and ruler.

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

Abstract Landscape - Blue Sky, Red Earth

"Blue Sky, Red Earth" acrylic paint on 8x8x1/2 inch (20x20x1.3cm) stretched canvas

A base of three layers of Atelier Interactive Napthol Red Lt was left to dry. I was trying to get a smooth layer for another project but couldn't so this canvas had been left untouched for months.

Jo Sonja Carbon Black was used to mark where the horizon line would be (just a little below centre). Matisse Structure acrylics in Transparent Venetian Red, Deep Rose Madder, Transparent Umber, a touch more of the Carbon Black (land), Australian Sky Blue, Cerulean Blue, Ultramarine and Atelier Interactive Mixing White (pearl/titanium) (sky) were brushed on roughly and leaving the red base to show through in places.

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

 

Abstract - Blue & White Stripes

"Blue & White Stripes" thick acrylic paint on 8x8x1/2 inch (20x20x1.3cm) stretched canvas

A base of Jo Sonja Ultramarine Deep was left to dry.
 

Stripes of Matisse Structure acrylics in Ultramarine, Cobalt Turquoise, Cobalt Teal, and Atelier Interactive Mixing White (pearl/titanium) were placed from the tube onto the canvas then brushed roughly back and forth to blend slightly only.
