On the easel

Every time I make something, especially when it’s different from what I usually do, I try to take away some lesson from the process. Otherwise, there wouldn’t really be a point, would there? Anyway, I really enjoyed the process of repetition with the brush strokes in creating both the “N” and the background. But I learned a bit about black paint in the process. I’ve mentioned before that I tend to avoid black paint. I have a history of letting it overwhelm my paintings, not knowing how to use it sparingly. I’m not sure how the technique I used for this painting will be used in future projects consisting of black paint, but I think I’ll see it again! I layered several colors of black, as well as using both matte and high gloss pigment. It gives the background an interesting look and texture!
