Day 8, January 30 in 30

Day 8, January 8th.

30 in 30 hosted by Leslie Saeta.

Developing my next alcohol ink class for 317 Studio & Gallery. I thought painting on canvas would be a good challenge for those who have taken a few courses with me. I love the way the inks are absorbed into the canvas. They still react to their neighboring inks a bit but not as much as they do on Yupo paper. The result is a painting that has vivid colors but looks a bit like watercolors. I love the high contrast between the yellows and reds - and greens for that matter. This painting is done on gallery wrapped canvas as turning the corner and continuing the painting is so appealing to me. And of course, then you don't have to frame the piece.

Where are days 6 & 7? 
Well, I haven't done them yet. I didn't paint in the car and just couldn't move very fast after vacation. Honestly, I'd love a few days on the couch with a good book and a blank canvas with lots of time. Having said all that I am hoping to make up for lost time soon. We'll see.
