1 week!

I have been doing lots of painting these past few days, working on my large painting with lots of scars and my painting/drawing of my angry face. I'll start with the scars.

I started by covering the whole surface with impasto gel and texturing it with my hand prints. Once that had dried I started putting in the black lines. I purposefully didn't have them measures or ruled because I think they look better and suit me better free hand with different thicknesses+ wonky. I also painted the edge black. I then painted over the squares at the top which hadn't been done yet, then impasto on them. After that I used red and brown to put splashes, hand marks, drips etc on the painting in a random way. Then I used white paint to paint over the scars so they would stand out. Mu original intention was to have them brown like the other scab but beecause they are so small i did not think brown would stand out enough. The white was a bit bright so then i added a couple layers of watered down browny red paint. The next step will be to go at it with a knife so it doesn't look so perfect.

My bus is nearly at my work now so I'm gonna wrap this up will do a separate post about my other painting later.

Like always pics are in random order.
