Series Five.1

Series Five.1 by *buchanc3 on deviantART

genre: abstract
size: 10" x 10"
medium: acrylic and oil on canvas
date: May 10, 2009

influences: Jackson Pollock

technique: I began with taking many long length strands of yarn dipped in white oil paint. I spread watered down red paint with a noodle strainer.

theme and reasoning: Series Five is a continuation of my experiments in mediums. I have felt it important to continue these small experiments to get a good feel of the interactions in paint.

concept: As the red acrylic does not mix with the white oil it forms in the spaces to create shapes that would otherwise be impossible to make. There are three planes here while only using two hues. The receding plane comes from raw canvas, the middle is also white but stands apart from the canvas, and the red represents the foreground. The two whites are the same in value but contrast because of the texture the oil paint creates.

My plan for Series Five is to gradually progress through the color scheme through many canvases.
