This is a lesson in flexibility.
The willingness to change or compromise. The ability to be easily modified.
I love the work of Rebecca Vincent. The perspective she achieves with simple bands of color is wonderful. I don't know what techniques she uses but I thought pouring and swiping could give similar results. And the February pouring challenge was stripes. Perfect.
I started with a landscape I had poured a while back, which hadn't turned out great, but had a lovely sky. I poured vertical lines of paint on the bottom two thirds and then swiped and manipulated with a pallet knife.
To be honest, at this point I was thinking it was kind of ugly. And it didn't look anything like what I was going for. But, I let it dry and then went upstairs for a second opinion. No, I don't mean I prayed about it. 😇 I showed it to my sister who said it made her think of Na Pali in Hawaii.
So I googled it.
Well, would you look at that!
Okay, time for that flexibility I was talking about.
Instead of going to farm country, we're going to a tropical island.
Add a few waterfalls.
And sand and water.
And we're in a whole other country!
