Using a half sheet of 140 lb Arches, I started putting down some textural items. What you see here is some tape used between dry wall. It has a sticky side, so it doesn't move when I paint over it. I then painted two colors...blue and magenta in this case...and let them run together.
I put both small and large bubble wrap over the wet, shiny paint. Used a little salt and some spray texture.
After drying it, I removed the dry wall tape.
I loosely drew the basic pattern back onto the texture. Next week, I'll begin to paint in some of the forms I've chosen to keep. Probably add more textures as I work my way through the painting. I'm pretty excited about how the end product will look.
