Red Flight, gouache on board, by Karen Phillips |
This is Red Flight, a painting I did earlier this year. I wanted to try gouache on a board with some texture. I used light molding paste and gesso to create some yummy texture underneath the gouache. I had a lot of fun working this painting and learning more about gouache.
Red Flight is yummy! Vibrant! How wonderful is your journey as an artist! You love to explore...which makes it fun to watch you and your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruth. The feeling is mutual. I love what you're doing with your illustrations of the American Oystercatcher in collaborating with Jen.
DeleteThis is beautiful...too many time a painting like this gets cluttery looking but with yours each color stands on it's own yet blends with it's surrounding colors...I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Darlene. In creating this piece, I had to do a lot of editing of the colors. I toned it down to a quiet riot.
