In Process Painting – Waters of Birth

First in process after a fews days
of pouring and then overnight drying.

I began a new painting last week. Right now it looks like a sequel to the Transmutation painting finished before it.

This one is looking like "Waters of Birth". We'll see how it shapes up. Below are in-process photos of this experimental painting.

I love experimenting with watered down acrylic paints. For this one, the canvas was laid on the table. I poured the liquid paint on it and let it sit overnight and repeated for several days until it felt ready to be placed on an easel to paint.

What do you think?

In Process painting is now ready for the easel.

Paints and brushes at the table with the painting on easel.

This is where it is right now after yesterday's
painting session. It is beginning to shape up.

Until Next Week

These are the last of the in-process photos of my poured paint experimental project, adding more colors. The process was enjoyable; although, different than I had imagined it would be. I imagined that it would be quick and fun. Instead, it turned out I could only pour one color a day to give the colors time to dry before pouring the next color. I do like the results of the intersecting lines and overlapping colors. What do you think?
