I am experimenting with different textures and ways of using oils. For the first few test pieces I used the paint as thick as possible with lots of texture. I am now trying the opposite-oils thinned down with turps. I gessoed a canvas and planned to paint it with black. I thinned the black paint and started applying to the canvas-the drips were amazing so I want to experiment with different thicknesses of paint and let the paint drip in different directions-layering up using monotones, colour and black and white.
Last night was the ASP Christmas party with food drinks and games. I had a brilliant evening and feel so grateful and lucky to be (temporarily) part of such a wonderful group of creative people. Is there a word for a collection of artists?!!!
