Abstract Painting... that morphed into something else..



Here's something that I just started for fun...





Just dabbling with some Clear Gell...





This stuff is usually used with Golden Acrylics,which do interesting things with the Gell.






..but you can use regular Acrylics with the it too.






Pretty messy until it tries..





..but the up side you can tilt and work with the Gell while it's still wet. Get different effects by tilting and dripping.. rubbing...




...dragging the pallet can cause some sweet 'tracks' effects too...






so normally i'd quite right here..








but it occurs to me i might be able to work this into some cool textures...






...for a Nola page!  .. this Mom Logo on the lower left should do the trick.







I'll work in one a mom's face with the 'eyes that don't match on purpose'...  down at the bottom...


Now here's a rough version... I blend it a bit more below...

I think adding the panel borders ( even if their empty right now) - actually may *help* unify this page a bit, what do you think?




I like panel borders done digitally too...  but i did the borders right on the art look better, so the rough texture of the paint effects shows through. You may have to click on it to get closer and see what i mean.

So that's that. Now the easy part - i just need to add something to go INTO these panels, so it makes a story.


Wish me luck.

Btw... has anyone had any trouble posting comments? I remember a few posts back someone mentioned it i think.  Luckily the spam has not been to bad not a problem so far either.  Fingers crossed!
