The next challenge is to paint the above picture. Not quite sure how to go about this. I have achieved similar textures using watercolour , salt and clingfilm but result is always unpredictable. Will probably need to simplify the colours.
This is great George, did you weave the pieces of paper both ways? I really like the palette of colour you’ve used too. It’s going to look good when you’ve painted it. Fab
Thank you Sonia. I first tried weaving the strips both ways but just moving them up and down vertically by a small distance seemed to work better . It abstracted the overall image but not too much and was more pleasing to the eye.
Fantastic. You can use clingfilm with acrylic. You can also use clingfilm and salt with ink. You could use inks first, then work over in other mediums.I feel the righthand side works a little better, just because you can see some of the architecture.
Many thanks Helen.
Amazing! So much to look at, I'd love to see the finished piece - good luck!
