Today I spent the morning in the studio trying out painting with a squeegee. The images on the right show the results of my experiments.
While experimenting I wanted to try different colours next to each other to see how they would merge together. I also thought about the direction the paint would go in and the pressure I would need to apply to get an even coverage.
When trying this out on paper I found it worked and looked much better when there was lots of paint used as it looked thicker and more of a solid line of colour.
After experimenting a little I tried using a squeegee on to a small part of my 6 x 4ft canvas to see what affect this would have. Im pretty pleased with how it looks and I think I’ll try this technique on other parts of the painting.
