New mixed media piece

 


So I pulled out an old board and started a new artwork because I wanted to work bigger than in my journal. This is 76 x 51cm. I'm thinking that it's finished, but it will sit in my studio for a bit while I decide. All the layers underneath (from two previous mixed media pieces) have added some interesting textures. I like how parts of this look like bits of the night sky thanks to some black tissue paper with shiny dots embedded in it. 

I find myself drawn to palettes that mostly have a red, a blue, and a yellow. Although the middle band of this piece looks black, it contains a lot of Payne's grey, which isn't so evident in the photos. 

Do you find your artworks have recurring palettes or themes?

  1. Ooooh, this is lovely, Tracy. The feeling of that all-seeing eye overlooking the landscape is amazing, and the closeups of the textural aspects have me ogling all around the painting. Well done!
