I added the red zips and I think that provided some nice contrast. More glitter was applied, and the direction of the canvas was changed yet again (one of the true beauties of abstract painting). I'm honestly pretty proud of this piece, and I think it's one heck of a step up from my last abstract painting. I'll probably do some more detailing but other than that I'm probably finished! I really think I was able to capture Queen's aura through this piece- or at least my perception of them!

I started adding some glitter and contrasting colors. I think it's shaping up to be a very cool piece- that's pretty rad. I also decided to experiment with zips in my work. So far I like it, I'm thinking that I'll add some in red. This work is one giant experimentation station and I'm lovin' it!
I finished filling up the canvas (something I neglected to do with my last abstract piece) and decided to experiment with drips. I like the way they look right now, and I'm contemplating doing them in more contrasting colors and in different directions. So far so good!
I'm starting a new project! This time its an abstract painting delving into the intricacies of Queen's music via color, texture, and pattern. I'm working big again (30 x 40) which is fan-freaking-tastic! Love that for us! I'm really stoked to keep on with this project, as it's already having a solid start.
I decided to cut the board in half and totally reconfigure my composition. I also added these torn up pieces of paper in the background to add some more organic textures. I also added … GLITTER! There's no doubt in my mind that I'll be using glitter in the future, I love it. Anyways, this collage just needs a few tweaks and then I think it's pretty much done.
I made some skins to add some texture to the collage. I've never done this before, so again some experimentation, but I'm excited to see how it turned out. I'll definitely use these colors again in the future, they're pretty neat. In the meantime, hopefully this works! (I'm such a novice in the world of skins that I really have no idea)
This project is going to be extremely experimental, but I want to do it. I've never done a collage on a slightly larger scale, and I don't really know how this will turn out. I hope to make this project mixed media though. I also want to use glitter! (This is what I have right now, but it's not glued down)
I found two old cavases- they're relatively small- but I figured that I could at least do something with them. As of right now this will be my home project unless I decide I want to change directions … I'm not too dedicated to it.
I think I'm pretty much done! Today is our last studio day before the critique, and I proabably won't make any adjustments until then (maybe after I get some advice on how to advance it), but I am very happy with this! It was great to work on a larger size again.
