Cans 2 Post 2 Work in Progress


I didhn't get very much finished today. I wasn't going to use my solvent and then I just couldn't help myself. I've been using it VERY heavy to get a;; of the texture out of the colored pencil which is tough on the sanded board. This time I wanted to see what it would be like if I used less solvent and a blending brush ofr paint.

It doesn't get all the grain out but it gets some. What I like about it is even though it isn't as painterly as when you use a lot of solvent, you get some happy accidents which for this piece I think added some interest. I pointed to a couple of "happy accidents" in this post.

I'm off to paint with some 8-12 year olds at an afterschool class at Artworks in Keene.
