"Golden Wire Spaghetti"
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! Speak soon... Michael |
