</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am asked to demonstrate my pouring technique quite often. This painting is the result of one such demonstration. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started off by pouring Aureolin and Permanent Rose onto the paper. I then blow the paint and use my spray bottle to move it around the paper. Then I pour the Aureolin and Prussian Blue at the bottom to help create leaves. After the paint dries, I "find" the tulips and the leaves and paint them in. I do this with negative painting, or painting the shapes behind and between the flowers and the leaves.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In that course, I had to create several illustrations based on different stories. For this painting, I used my daughter as my model. She has darker hair but chose to make her blond for the illustration. I often take it to my shows and most people seem to recognize my daughter in the painting. It is my modern matchstick girl.</div>Leslie Lambert Redhead http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421003396799018798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340525577514181056.post-30390948156624213482010-03-14T08:29:00.000-07:002010-03-14T08:29:41.899-07:00Passion For Poinsettias<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
