Today I'm thinking I'm not sure how much longer I want to keep doing this. A lot of the time lately it feels like I'm just doing stuff to tick off another day of The 100 Day Project.
If I'm going to stop then tomorrow might be a good day for my swan song as it will be exactly half way through.
Today, Day 49, it's yet more wrapping paper and gift tag for another birthday present and some more paint on one of the ex life drawing papers that I'm curious to see if I can rescue from purgatory. š
Layer 1 - is just a random use of paints, mostly from when I had some left over after using them elsewhere. At this point it just looks like a God awful mess to me.
Layer 2 - I decide to make some areas of colour more defined in an attempt to make the whole thing less busy.
Layer 3 - I decide to knock back some of the colour to help the painting feel more integrated,so I applied a layer of gesso.
Why did you do that?
Make up your mind Gillian. One minute you're making it more defined. One minute you're knocking the colour back.
Layer 4 - I collaged a load of random hand-painted/printed papers onto the painting.
I'm not sure where to take it from here. I might get the iron out and flatten it a bit. I might outline some elements in black. I might just keep going with layers.
Who knows? That's me done for the day anyway. I ended up quite enjoying it after all. š
