Sometimes, you need to turn something onto it's head to see it differently and perhaps in it's "true" view. I did some additional staining on "The Highlands" and turned "it" around. I prefer this perspective and it works for me. I also primed the 2 inch borders.
Unprimed canvas finally arrived. This is approx. 36"x36"- unstretched with acrylic ink diluted with alcohol and glycerin. Titled, "The Highlands."
Continuing to learn more about dye attributes and how to manipulate and control outcomes. I mixed up a batch today using the powder form and mixing with water, alcohol and glycerin. Different ratios different effects.
Finally decided to put outcomes onto primed canvas and what we've got is "Polka-dots & Moonbeams." 18"x24" stretched and primed canvas with "Australian Ghost Gum" acrylic undercoat and aniline dyes on top.
Continuing to play/create. This time with primed and stretched canvas-18"x24". The undercoat is stained acrylic ink that has been rubbed down to just the barest of stains. Top coat is alcohol ink that has been heavily thinned with alcohol. Title is "America (n.s)"- Thanks to my friend Norm for the title suggestion.
