I now have four or five canvases going, but these are the three I'm most happy with. I continued to add colored onto the painting pictured on the left. I used a large palette knife which I've enjoyed a lot more than brushes because of the abstract mark making I can create with it. I think I am going to bring the green to the top again and then add smaller brush strokes to tie the whole pieces together. Pictured in the middle is the second layer on a canvas I started a little bit ago, and I used the same process I used on the green one to create this kind of abstract shape as my base. I really like this process and I feel like it creates an aesthetically pleasing piece. The third canvas is a baby sized canvas that I decided to do a similar process on but I started with a wet brush and didn't use a palette knife. It didn't turn out as different as I wanted it to but all of these are practice with the style and works in progress, however I think they're an improvement from my last piece. I have some other canvases going that I'm not huge fans of (more specifically a large gray and yellow one that I might start over because I don't like the way the brush strokes blended and made a flat surface) so I've been focusing on these ones. I know its not as many pieces as I was hoping to get done, but with everything that has been going on lately I feel like I'm at a safe pace.
