I love Michael Lang’s large abstract paintings and decided to have a go following one of his you tube videos and I enjoyed learning his blending techniques although I didn’t exactly master it.  I found it difficult to keep my circles round and my straight lines straight but it looks ok from a distance.  I also couldn’t get the drippy technique – partly due to the buckle of the paper (he used a flat board) and I just couldn’t quite get the right consistency.  I used mainly acryics and acrylic medium, but also pens and finished with gel pastels to brighten a few areas.  The camera didn’t pick up the aqua colours and made them look a bit blue.

Here are a few photos of some of my layers:

Well I think I am finished the painting.  It will probably sit in my folder and I will pull it out every now and then to see if I  want to add anything else to it.
