My hand are all covered in paint, I’ve made a huge mess, but 2 of the 4 canvases are completed for Lesson 2. Basically, if you compare the following painting with the post yesterday, you will see that I’ve added multiple layers:
Still more layers to do, plus I need to come up with a focal point image, drawing or collage element. So far, I highly recommend Paulette’s class!

I mentioned I was planning to start a painting class by Paulette Insall last week. The subject matter is painting backgrounds- particularly organic dimensional backgrounds with many layers using acrylics.
The first step after you prepare your canvas is to color wash it . Next add some collage elements:
Then you add the first layer of dimension and texture using paint:
That is my homework until Class 2. I need to pick up more paint colors and more canvases so I can try this using several color palettes. Stay tuned for next week’s show & tell!
