Adding Texture

 

I’ve been working almost exclusivley with acrylics lately
but have been wanting to use my “texture tools”;
scrapers, brayers, knives, oil sticks, etc.
I don’t find acrylics as easy to push around,
so I got my oil paints out this week.
I’m newly inspired!

I had a great time pushing the colors and shape sizes
while applying lots of texture.

I’m happily getting around to exploring some of the approaches
I recently taught in my Modern Painting class.
(Practice what you preach!)

NOTE:
Below is the “start” I did a month ago
10 x 10 oil on board

And this is the image I used as a reference.
