Undergrad Research Painting


Here's something new that I've been working on, how exciting! This painting is going to be something of a gift for the Undergrad Research department. Anne, Rachel, and Bob are all doing their own painting of an identical size. The 4 paintings will be attache together, as a way of representing student/professor interaction...path to learning sort of idea.
I'm mixing up/adding to a process a bit. Started with the usual wash, cad yellow and crimson. Taped off the whole surface and cut out some tree forms. Prussian blue wash...which did seep under the tape. That created some spidery, weblike forms as the paint bled. But it also held onto the lines that the tape made.
Going to continue with the layers. More tape, trees, washes, maybe some modeling paste? Stay tuned.
