Greetings, I hope the day is treating you well today. Thanks for coming by the studio its great to see you again. Today we will continue in the process of creating these two pieces the other day we left off with the two panels having had multiple layers of primer(not gesso) applied and today we will begin adding some color and texture.

Where we started. Here we have the first on many many layers of color and texture:

Ooooo what’s it going to be? Well…. We’ll just have to wait and see right?

Oh no somebody spilled gesso all over…. Ha, why yes, yes I did but in a very specific place and pattern.

The green and yellow piece is going to change so much I think you’ll be pretty surprised when we go on to the next steps. I am using the coral texturing technique on this piece for a very specific reason which will become evident as the piece evolves. With this piece I already have a name and highly specific image I’m going to try and draw out of these panel.

This is a close up of the panel on the right. I have a color scheme in mind and a eventual goal (feeling) that I’d like evoke but because it’s an emotional piece the process will be far more in depth than the green and yellow piece.
Right then I’m back at it, these textural pieces need to dry and I need to paint, I still need to finish Green Girl and Grapes of Wrath . Once again thanks for coming by you lol beautiful as always, do please take care and I’ll see you again shortly.
Always
Benjamin
