Some New Work in Nuetrals

I've been experimenting with layering acrylic paint and scraping through, creating texture and line with a minimum of colors.  You can see some pieces I did about a year ago here.  Mostly I've done these pieces as technique demonstrations, but thought I'd try to take it a bit further.  Here is a video on some of the techniques I'm using:

And a few of the finished works:




You can see the whole collection at Jane Davies Art Gallery.  And learn the techniques at my workshops in Gloucester, Whidbey Island,  Rhinebeck (OMEGA), and Dillman's Bay Resort in Wisconsin.

    Wow, this is amazing. I was really scared when you covered it with black paint - yikes - but it turned out FANTASTIC. Goes to show that creating layers actually requires creating layers ;)

    I always enjoy and appreciate your videos. It's helpful to me to SEE the work done instead of just writing about how to do something. I'm a visual learner and can retain the info much more easily. Thanks for sharing your techniques with us - so inspirational!

      Yes. Regular rubbing alcohol. It seems to come in a couple of different strengths, but they both work. Also, baby wipes work pretty well. Hand sanitizer too.

    Jane - what is the light colored paint? In your video you said it was a gray but it seems to have a warm cast to it.
