Abstract - Rough Water

With this painting I was trying a different way of getting colours to flow across the canvas.

"Rough Water" Jo Sonja paints on 8x8x1/2 inch (20x20x1.3cm) stretched canvas

Base was painted with Jo Sonja's background colour Blue Lagoon and left to dry. Canvas was sprayed with water and Jo Sonya Indigo, Ultra Blue Deep, Blue Lagoon (used previously in base) and Titanium White were spread with a painting knife. More water was sprayed, canvas tipped and a straw was used to blow colours around.

The painting has a rough texture to the touch, especially in the bottom left where the paint was thicker.

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