99 Paintings: DAY 16



Day: 21 "Baby Crusty":
Now I'm really letting loose!  This piece was a lot of fun because there is very little rendering and a lot of paint spashing.  Below you can see that all I did was tone the canvas and do a super simple line drawing in acrylic paint, so it wouldn't gow away when I started spattering.  I used some thin glazes then spattered solvent, which caused the canvas color to show through.  I worked quickly and loosely, scraping on paint with stiff brushes and with the palette knife.  I alluded to form by using some darker colors around the edges, but didn't do much rendering.  I love the gritty textures in this one!  Painting is fun!   - Tom
