Just completed this one last night. Here you can see all the three sets of complementary color (green to red, orange to blue, yellow to violet). This was an experiment where the background was done in Collage with handmade and handpainted papers like the golden apples in Golden Triplets. And did the Sunflower with accent liner and glass paint. And at the end accent liner turned out to be a good way to sign the painting as well. Initially I had no idea as to how will I do the background while I was doing the rooster (which I should be completing this week) in Collage. And suddenly a thought came to mind that I could do the collage in background and I had visualized how the painting will look finally. You know sometimes we what we visualize and what finally we end up doing are not same. But here I pleasantly surprised myself by achieving what I aimed to accomplish. So the next one in the making is a rooster. You want to have a sneak peek into it. Here you go :



I should complete the neck and the grass below. Waiting to receive the handmade papers from Judy who makes beautiful chunky handmade papers. And the best thing about her is that she makes the colors and values the way I want them.
So see you all in the next post with my completed Rooster painting and you all could probably help me in naming the painting. Something out of the box....I am just not able to do it.
