Imagine a bathtub
Full of soaps, salts, and oils
Of many kinds
How they would interact
But some would settle
And some would not mix
The water would be influenced
Reality is full of so many factors
Some of which interact directly
Some of which interact indirectly
Forming many layers
Painting of California coastline. Painted this while I was still learning how to mix watercolors and the amount of water I used etc. but I still liked how this turned out!
This is based on a couple of lino cut prints, acrylic paint and gold ink. I have rediscovered my love of lino cut printing after many years and hope to do much more of it.
This portrait was created using mixed media like colored pencils, markers, and ink. The portrait features the face of a man resting in his hand, and staring dead-eyed at the viewer. I used non local color techniques to create depth and form using colors not typically found in the human face, like blues and violets for shadows and yellows and oranges or highlights. Parts of his face include small pink stars which originally faded from the previous page, but I really like the look it gives, they almost look like celestial freckles.
