Mixed Media: Black/Red Shapes 5/30 - 6/1/08
On 5/29 I had the idea to put down strips of tape on watercolor paper and then spray with watered-down watercolor paint. On 5/30 I started one. Here I sprayed with black and then red. It's still wet in this photo.
On 5/31 I sprayed another layer of black and then red so that it would create more contrast when I removed the tape. The paint is still wet in this photo.
On 6/1 I removed the tape to reveal the white paper beneath.
After looking at the white space for a while, I saw shapes within the white spaces. I pulled out my color pencils and began coloring. Towards the end of coloring for that day, the thought "a little rough around the edges" came to mind...That may be what I'll call this piece in the end.
