“Moon”
11x14 on illustration board
Materials: gross heavy gel medium, gesso, sand, shelf liner and acrylic paint.
This was one in a series of four mixed media pieces I did a few years ago. They all utilized a gel medium for providing an interesting surface to work with. Using a plastic knife, I apply the gel creating various shapes and textures. You will note the interesting effects I got by dragging a sponge across wet paint that had been laid down across the gel surface. The moon design was created using shelf liner. I cut out the design, applied to the illustration board and then covered the surface with a white gesso and sand mixture. You then pull back the shelf liner to reveal the design. It provides some dimension and great texture. It is really fun to experiment with these different techniques and just go with the flow.
You are an artist.
