"Out for a stroll" is painted on cotton watercolor paper with acrylic.
I have been making both abstract and figurative paintings, although quite a number of them have a historical origin, this work called "Out for a stroll" is an abstract work. The underlying layer is roughly applied, layers of color and a few strokes of yellow and green were added and subsequently scraped, rubbed, or treated with alcohol splatter using the emotions I was feeling at the time. Subsequently I applied a few layers of transparent greens, using a negative technique, recreating, out of the chaos, a tranquil environment for myself resulting in an imaginary bird out for a stroll against a backdrop of trees and leaves.
The painting is executed on 300gsm NOT Fabriano Watercolor Paper, with a layer of gesso.
