New Acrylic and Posca Pen Painting from the new collection of paintings I've been working on...

It's a 20cm x 20cm "Tile-Style" painting on mdf board of a girl who lost something and then found what she was looking for again.

The painting has a white background and white edges with a carbon black border/frame painted onto the wood.

The painting was created largely using acrylic paint but the outline of the girl was created using a light grey Posca chalk pen.

New Brush-Wipe Style Painting - "White Haze on Electric Blue" by Michael Carlton

10/23/2020

New Brush-Wipe Style Painting -
"White Haze on Electric Blue"

ORIGINAL AVAILABLE

New Brush-Wipe Style painting I finished recently - it's a monochrome-white painting on a metallic-blue background and has quite a Mark Rothko feel to it...

Often with this style of painting I don't use a border but for this particular piece I wanted a bold outline to complement and contrast the hazy nature of the main body of the piece.

This painting is part of a new series of pieces I've been working on since moving to a new studio in Duivendrecht. Most of the paintings in the series have been on wood (including this one) as it's a new medium I'm experimenting with...

I'll be posting more paintings from the new series here on the blog and on my Social Media pages if you'd like to see the new pieces as they're released...

All the new pieces will also be available for sale in the Online Shop - so if you see one you like then click on the link in the post and it will take you directly to the right page in the shop.

Hope you enjoyed the new piece - comments and feedback as always are welcome below!

I should hopefully be able to post another new piece again early sometime week...

Till then!

Michael

New Smiley Face Painting "Bronze Background Face" by Michael Carlton

New Smiley Face Painting
- "Bronze Background Face"

ORIGINAL AVAILABLE

Just recently finished this new Smiley Face Painting...

It's the first smiley face painting I've made using metallic paint for the background and I found that using the metallic paint on wood creates the effect of making the painting looks like it simultaneously made of metal and wood.

I hope you like the new piece and as always comments are welcome below!

There'll be more new pieces coming soon and I'll be posting on my Social Media pages as soon as they're ready... ;)

ORIGINAL AVAILABLE

Brush-Wipe Style Painting by Michael Carlton

Just finished a new acrylic painting in the Brush-Wipe Style that's a part of a collection of 10 or so pieces created to inaugurate my move to a new studio in Duivendrecht.

It's a combination of loosely applied acrylic paints that creates a hazy, etheric feel. I've also mixed in some metallic gold paint too which gives an eye-catching glimmer when viewed from certain angles...

The painting is on 9mm thick mdf board and measures 20cm x 20cm

I hope you like the new piece and as always comments are welcome below!

There will be more from the collection released soon and as usual I'll be posting them on my Social Media pages as soon as they're ready... ;)

Speak soon,

New Mixed-Media Painting "Golden Wire Spaghetti" by Michael Carlton

10/8/2020

New Mixed Media Painting -
"Golden Wire Spaghetti"

ORIGINAL AVAILABLE

Mixed-Media Painting

Just finished the first piece from a new collection of paintings to inaugurate the move to my new studio in Duivendrecht... it's called "Golden Wire Spaghetti" and it's a mixed-media piece using acrylic paint and Posca chalk pens on MDF board.

For this piece I used a charcoal black acrylic foundation and then put the chalk pens on the top.

When I was using the pens I didn't let the ink sit long enough to dry so when the next colour was applied the ink from the lines would bleed into one another creating the effect of making them look like they've melted into one another.

I've also used a number of different thickness' of pen to create more depth and have used metallic silver and gold ink to contrast against the matt blackboard-like finish of the background.

This is the first completed piece of this new collection - so far I have 5 more completed pieces with another 5 or so still in progress...

I'll be posting the new pieces as and when they're completed over the course of the next few days and weeks so keep an eye open if you want to see the new pieces!

All the new pieces will also be available for sale, so if you see one you like then just let me know and I'll send you a link to the page on my Etsy Shop where you can order the piece(s) you like.

Hope you enjoy the new collection - feedback is always welcome too so feel free to let me what you think in the comments below the posts!

New Painting - "Abstract Haze Painting"

New Acrylic Painting -
"Abstract Haze Painting"

This is a new acrylic painting called "Abstract Haze Painting".

This is a new style of painting I've been working on, it's a little bit like my brush-wipe style, but it's a bit less etheric and has got more bolder colours and shapes in it...

Hope you like it :D

...and in case you were wondering that is meant to be a women in the top right-hand corner!

I've put some close-ups of the painting below and the original piece is also available in the online shop.

New Painting - "Coming Out of the Sludge"

5/30/2017

New Acrylic Painting -
"Coming Out of the Sludge"

This is a new acrylic painting I completed this week.

It's called "Coming Out of the Sludge" and it's about cleansing out old patterns and rubbish from the past...

The painting started off looking quite pleasant, but about half way through I watched a documentary on Francis Bacon and I think this inspired me to make the painting look slightly less pleasant than how it started off :D

I hope you like it!

Comments are welcome below...

...and the original piece is currently available in the Online Shop:
