Open Up was painted outside in a playful manner of throwing paint. I first covered the large canvas with a ton of house paint to give it a fun texture. Then I used acrylic and mat medium to thin it out and I threw the paint at the canvas. Next I finger painted acrylic in circular playful motions. White oil paint was rubbed over areas of the background after a few days. Finally, I used oil pigment sticks to draw in lines and rub in more color. Oil sticks take months to dry, but the result is super rich.
