Did you read the previous post? Did you guess which painting would get the makeover?
When I finished this pour, I was pretty sure I'd be using it as a background or changing it in some way. While it has an impressive number of cells, it seemed to lack structure or focal point. So I set it aside until one day I glanced at it, not really thinking about what to do with it, when I began to see something. Do you see it?
I'll give you a second,
or two.
Okay, time's up. Here's a hint.
I could have left it at that but I decided I wanted color.
I tried out several ideas on Autodesk.
Using acrylic washes is a bit tricky. I wanted to be able to see the details of the underpainting, but still have true, even colors.
I may tweak it a bit more, but for now I'm calling it done.
Wait, no, I'm calling it Lean In.
I lived in Kansas for about 25 years.
Kansas, named for the Kansa Tribe, aka People of the South Wind.
I learned the best way to keep your footing in the wind is to lean into it.
