Another of my painted background efforts. This didn’t quite go to plan as the background was a bit over-powering. Some of the various stages it went through are explained on my blog.
Inks, gesso stamp, gold acrylic splatter (detail)
Image painted with Golden Open white acrylic, fluid acrylic, watercolour pencilJanuary 28, 2019 at 10:46 am #770832Beautiful! You say it didn’t go as planned, but were you planning to add the flowers, or didn’t you have anything specific in mind? I ask, because it’s perfect!
January 28, 2019 at 11:46 am #770828Cyndi, the flower arrangement was planned, but the background was too dominant for the original colours I intended to use. I really like some of the loosely painted background papers I use, but then I get too rigid when adding the subject. Perseverance is the name of the game!
January 29, 2019 at 9:46 am #770833Ahhh…well, I love the way you adjusted and the colors you chose!
January 29, 2019 at 4:51 pm #770827Such a beautiful patterned background with the added stamping, etc., so very feminine.

February 3, 2019 at 6:43 pm #770838I’ve always loved clematis! One of the few flowers I can grow…lol! This really works with the flower shapes against the abstraction of the background and love the way the leafy shapes are more transparent.
February 17, 2019 at 10:21 am #770830February 19, 2019 at 12:18 am #770836I like it. I think the composition has great bones! Maybe if you just push the contrast a bit more? (or next time)

tedsMarch 3, 2019 at 8:27 am #770837I think it’s lovely, I like both the fore- and the background.
March 3, 2019 at 4:08 pm #770831Thanks Rick (comment on contrast noted for future reference), Lisa, GarageDoor and JayJay. The experimenting continues!
March 23, 2019 at 3:09 am #770840Ahh you want the flowers to be the star of the show which they are i see your background is not overpowering (where top bud is due to less definement on background shapes bringing the bud forward just enough) I do see your arangement/placement/compostion whatever you want call it is realy excellent..the eye is taken on a journey from bottom flower up to the top where it stays on the bud.Personaly what apeals to me here is the delicate nature feels to be coming over due to subject matter and also layering and transparency , the top bud has the ballance just right for me very soft edge outline of the top bud and is ballanced with background less defined shapes…but that is just personal taste it is up to you how you do but it is lovely very engaeging
