Veil Dancer

I finished the second one using several materials to direct your eye around the painting.  Veil Dancer is supposed to be very abstract and yet you feel the movement in it.  It is done in a cruciform design and even though I wanted it to be a horizontal painting, It just didn't work, so eventually I had to leave it in the vertical position and go from there.  This painting was a lot of fun to do because I got to use a lot of different techniques in the process and I let the painting show me what to do.  I did not know what I was going to paint until I was actually working on it.  It is a lot of fun to do paintings in this manner!

Abstract.

I did post a picture of this one when I first finished it but thought I would post it here as well.  I did an abstract with a lot of different textures and then added to it to make more dark values.  I also added water soluble crayons on top of the watercolor.  They were so vibrant that it really made the rest of the work pop.  I have started another one and will show you what it looks like after the first step of texture making is complete.  I am working on this orange one now and hope to finish it tomorrow.  I will post it again when I do.
