Inspiration from Walks During Lockdown

 

 

ROAD TO UNSEEN DESTINATIONS and HINTERLAND SPIRIT 

make a great duo and really shine against the dark background.

Both are 30x30cm acrylic and mixed media on deep canvas.

Inspired by my favourite walks up on the plateau of our nearest mountain Col de Vence which is just on the right side of our 10km limit for exercise during the current lockdown here in France.

Turquoise and orange is one of my favourite combinations of colour and a combo I keep returning to. There is something uplifting about these two together that evokes a happy and 'satisfied' feeling in me.

The colours, although bright, have been harmonised with a hint of the other colours in each which stops the colours being overwhelming.

Tell me what your favourite colour combinations are in the comments below.

Both are available on my Artbymarion website

Using white to give more voice to the red and turquoise in this painting, but leaving enough of the history of the painting to make it intriguing.

Untitled, WIP abstract painting, by Marion Hedger

I started this similar to yesterday's painting but coated the support with the flow medium first (I'm determined to find a good use for it). I used ceruleun blue, alazarin crimson and white. Due to the flow medium the paint was very 'squidgy' as I rolled and the imprint of the rollers was apparent. I decided to go with this and leave the pattern to take me forward.

Going larger and being bolder in my approach.

Today I wanted to practice blending. The Golden Fluid acrylics dry so quickly that blending with them is out of the question unless lots of water is used which results in a thin film of paint. I managed to get hold of some Liquitex acrylics in our small town which I know have a longer 'wet' time (is that even a term?). Another new technique for me was using a roller.

I started off this painting with the idea of a smooth middle section and highly textured top and bottom section. I ripped some NOT watercolour paper to give bevelled edges and used that as the middle strip. See more about this painting and the close up texture, on my blog
