Get up. Get Dressed. Paint: Seeing gold.


First painting completed in the book Release Your Creativity.  Found this assignment difficult having to work primarily with gold paint.



 There are four layers of gold paint with the white and red ink drips and splatters.  After the third layer I found myself growing tired of the process of covering up the previous layer and starting again.  The drying process for each layer tried my patience. 

The layers peeking through.

I created this canvas while working in the journal to give away for Art Abandonment.  I keep putting off dropping somewhere it as I worry no one will want it.  


Joining in at Paint Party FridayWhat color paint is on your fingers this week?

  3. If you grew tired, it doesn't show in your piece. I find in some pieces working with gold can be freeing.
