I have been busy working on more wooden panels. I love working on wood. It means I can add loads of heavy texture and then sand the surface with a lovely new hand held sander I have. My seagull started off like this a couple of days ago.
I used shades of citrasolv paper for the seagull body.
Then stencilled modelling paste over the surface to create texture, which I then sprayed with iridescent inks.
I sanded the surface, and drew some detail in ink.
I love your wooden panels Morag, and this is no exception. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis and Summer Stag are wonderful pieces Morag. The layers of paint and texture you achieve always impresses me. And your little houses in a post further back...LOVE them.

I so love seeing the progress of your paintings. The way you use collage is fascinating to me. And the end result is beautiful as always ...
ReplyDeleteMorag, all of the texture is enticing me to hop on a boat , visit Skye and see your art in person! Here most of our seagulls are pure white with grey wings and black wing tips. The others may have a black ring around their necks or even a black head. Beautiful birds, but annoying sounds.
ReplyDeleteThere is such texture here, what an interesting process. You've captured the free soaring feel wonderfully, your art is full of nature's gifts and beauty, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love the textures and that iridescent ink is gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteAfter reading that you have used Citrasolve papers I have been investigating this product. The effects are fantastic. I will have to experiment with this. You have used the papers so effectively in your work.
