Hi!
This was a fun project! I'm not completely satisfied with the composition yet.
I would have preferred it to be a little less placed in the middle, now it really is a bar that runs horizontally across the middle.
I actually wanted to leave more negative space at the top.
And there could have been more variation in the 'bar' from slightly wider to slightly narrower.
But that's for next time!
The colors though!! This will definitely come back, I finally got a taste of those two beautiful colors Sap Green and Green Gold!
Varying movements in the swipes is also gaining more and more depth.
I'm happy!
Thank you so much for all the enthusiastic responses!
I never expected this....
Lots of love!
How I make my BASE:
Talens Art Creation Titanium White and Owatrol floetrol (1:3 minimal water added). I do this in portions (cups) of 35 grams of Titanium White and 105 grams of Owatrol, and usually add 5 grams of water. I make larger stocks of this, and always try to let it rest for at least 2 days so that it has fewer air bubbles
The COLORS I used:
TLP Shimmer
TLP Parakeet
TLP Abalone
Golden Green Gold
Golden Sap Green Hue
Eye Candy Pigments Macaw Blue Green
Eye Candy Matcha Green
Amsterdam Greenish Blue
Amsterdam Prussian Blue Phthalo
Amsterdam Oxide Black
Pebeo Iridescent Precious Gold
I MIX MY COLORS also with Owatrol floetrol. Ratio depends on the pigmentation and thickness of the paint, also a very small amount of water added for consistency, but slightly thinner than the base.
I first wet my PIGMENTS with a little JoSonja varnish until I have a paste. Then I add a small scoop of binder (Caparol). I also use Owatrol as PM with the pigments and that is not paint. It therefore lacks the binding. And I personally don't like it when colors become 'runny'. So that's how I solve it. Then I also add Owatrol floetrol to this, I do that by eye, in the same consistency as the other colours.
I make my CELL ACTIVATOR with acrylic paint and Australian floetrol (1:2). I used Amsterdam Oxide Black here. For the Gold cell activator I mix two different types of Gold. I use Golden Bright Gold and Amsterdam Deep Gold (1:3 approximately). Because Amsterdam works well, and Golden to make the color more beautiful!
