Description
As I paint this type of painting, I start with a white gesso'd substrate and use a brush with india ink to start painting random lines. I then allow the painting to basically paint itself. It morphs into a scene that I see and I pull out what wants to be seen. I never know what the final painting will look like until the piece tells me it's finished. After the india ink, I paint mostly with metallic acrylics but also non metallic. The end result for the original is a shimmering beautiful piece that reminds me of a painted mosaic. The flatness of the india ink and the contrast of the shimmering metallic is something I like very much.
Water for Elephant contains two elephants, do you see them? There is also an illusion with one of the elephants. One appears to also be a horned screaming spirit depending on where your eye goes first.
Prints will not be printed with metallic ink. Only the original contains it.
I am very drawn to this style right now, so please check back for more to come.
