Interesting.
What medium is that?
Looks like some type of gel?
The separation is nice and I am wondering if placed against one another, do the colors bleed into each other?
That could be interesting.

Have you tried any other background colors besides white?
Have you tried a watercolor wash as a background and primary colors as accent?

Your creation is easy on the eyes.
Like I said, Interesting
:thumbsup:

waving Tom

It's water color. Comes in a kit that has preformed designs. I drop the colored water with a large plastic squeeze dropper thing.
I am tempted to find a thicker substance, but it may not work well with the applicator. But it would certainly set better.

Actually yes, I tried two colors and it does bleed together looks tie dyed somewhat. But harder to control and the second color seemed to over take the first & not blend well..

I've only used the pieces of background that came with the kit. After a use them up I will try free dropping, that should be more messy, but fun... Maybe.. Need the right paper so it absorbs well...

Thank you for your kind words. flowerforyou

^about this, I think that's a great idea, if I can another substance other than watercolor to work for primary...

You do know that water color is not just for water.
Anything that is water based should work.

You might also experiment with a small amount of neutral paints like latex and enamel.
Pick up a small bottle of mod podge at a crafts store and experiment with that, you can get it in gloss or matte.



Another idea that I use with watercolor is using straws.

You lay a starting color.
Let it dry.
You lay a different color next to it and use different diameter straws to blow the paint into a design. I use three straws, a coffee stir, a standard straw and one of those big milkshake straws.
You get different effects by cutting the straws at different lengths and using opposing colors and extreme shades.

Sometimes I use a fine point sharpie to add shadows, gives it a 3d look.

The thing about art is that it is your own creativity that is expressed.
There really isn't a wrong way to do it.
I enjoy abstract art, the stranger the better.
Some people enjoy still life, others love scenery.

I have an art project started, its moving slow and I have been working on the same piece for around 6 months now and still not even close to finished. When I finally do finish it, I'll scan it and upload it so I can post it in this section.

It won't be better or worse than what you or anyone else creates, just different.
