Polyphony II


I finished this, the second in my Polyphony series, just yesterday. I painted it to hang either horizontally or vertically.

To see an earlier version, scroll down or click here. Golden fluid acrylics on 36"x48" gessoed canvas.

This palette is very vivid...the fluid acrylics are surprisingly bright when glazed over white.

It looks great on a white wall...it is truly a departure from the paintings I've been producing lately! A great learning experience.

The Polyphonic Series


I've had this on my easel for quite some time. I'm taking it public to guilt myself into actually wrapping it up! I whited out some parts that I didn't care for, so keep in mind this is a work in progress. I am digging Golden liquid acrylics bigtime. This one's 3'x 4'. Please see the logic from my previous post on Polyphonic Setting for Angel. This one is the same idea, although I'm not sure I'm gonna add any metallics. The liquid acrylics are giving me much better texture than the tube acrylics I used in Angel's painting, and I would hate to obfuscate it. Plus the colors I chose here are more transparent, so I'm using more of a watercolor glazing technique on the intermediate parts. If I make small mistakes I use rubbing alcohol to touch up.
