Dear readers,
Today I finished the painting that I started the day before yesterday. I used quite a bit of pink. If you follow my blog, you know how much I use turquoise, but I also like pink, so I added that color on purpose this time.
Sub- or halfconsciously I had a lot of ideas running through my head, while painting.
- How much I like layering
- How everything comes together in the end – you just have to keep going until it feels good.
There are different ‘techniques’ I use, and I try to balande them:
- using negative space,
- making marks,
- using Neocolor II crayon,
- using grafite, which makes for a lighter mark, using acrylic markers,
- using pure white and pure black, next to mixed white and (this time not) grey.
- using Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold, to ‘glue’ everything together.
- and more.
I always search for balance, but I also always want to throw myself out of balance, and I keep doing both of them, until it comes to a natural rest. Not too boring, not too wild.
Here’s the painting (20/20 cm, 8/8″). It’s for sale in the shop.
I wish you a beautiful and creative day!
Simone, your art and accompanying words each day are just the right ‘bite’ of creative energy for me as I start my day! Thank you!
Today’s 20/20cm piece is at once signature Simone and fully unique unto itself. And pulls me in deeply.
I’m so glad to hear so, Dotty! I thank YOU for your companionship every day!
