• Back to the Dance Floor

  

  I spent a couple of hours blocking in some temporary colors then decided that the yellow background was boring, so… I started a gradient. I figure I’ll just let it fade back to a horizon line; something like Tanguy would do. 🙂 It’s a big dance floor.

  I put an alizarine crimson glaze over the whole thing, tipped the painting on end and sprayed it with water. I’ll let the drips add some texture.

  This has two coats of clear on top of it.

  I’m going to have to trace that skanking dinosaur and whatever the green guy is in inkscape and add them to my library of critters…

  Colors: Open Acrylic Ultramarine Blue Cadmium Yellow, Hookers Green, Cadmium Orange, Cadmium Red Light, Sennelier‘s Venetian Red, Utrecht’s Titanium White and Winsor Newton’s Alizarin Crimson.

• Impassioned Dance Floor Frenzy of Passion

  

  …Tentative title. 🙂

  I was beginning to feel a bit “scribble dependent” so… I decided to put on some BeBop and start something that was scribble free. It’s still an automatic drawing in that I really had no intent when I first picked up my pencil and just let the image develop as I went along. The drawing isn’t quite finished but I’m going to try to leave this a little bit loose and not fill in every inch of the canvas.

  So far, this is done in watercolor pencil and Utrecht’s Titanium White acrylic on raw canvas that’s adhered to a 16×20 hardboard panel. The yellow on the outside is a wash of Sennelier’s Indian Yellow.
