I went to a weekend Acrylic Painting workshop in San Clemente. I kept seeing things in the painting and they became more representational than abstract. I did paint very loose so that was fun. We were also painting much larger than when I do watercolors.
The painting looked like a vase, so what do you put into a vase? Flowers of course. I did paint it quickly with a palette knife so that helped.
Abstract, at last. Using colors that are not my usual color range helped me get a more abstract feeling in the painting. The instructor said this was good so I am satisfied. I want to do more of this big painting, but have been babysitting and haven't time for awhile. Maybe next week I can get the paints out again. I will have to buy more canvas.
