I have under-painted the flamenco dancer (yet to be titled) and I am experimenting with applying opposite color. This means, where it is green, I will add red paper, where it is purple I will add yellow paper, and where it is orange I will ad blue paper. My plan is to leave a little bit of the under-painted color showing through between collage pieces, allowing that opposite color to visually vibrate with the collage papers.
We'll see how it goes!
Love the under painting, really looking forward to what it looks like all collaged up!!
ReplyDeleteWe will indeed see how it goes! This sounds like a fantastic idea, Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Elizabeth - she has such movement, you can almost hear the music. My entry for title: "Ruffles and Flourishes."
ReplyDeleteIt looks great already - looking forward to seeing how you play with the complements.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting approach!

ReplyDeleteI love the underpainting idea for an added dimension. i suggest you download "Gyspy Legends" for some great flamenco music while you work. ;)
