Fluid (2018) Original Acrylic Painting by Gordon T.

acrylic colour on acid free watercolour paper 300gm weight , 8.5 x 11.5 in, 21.5 x 29.5cm
Small projects in A4 size are great to work out ideas, and just as a way of keeping in touch with colour and paper. Here I am using a loose approach to applying the colour, more expressive. The simpler result can be quite refreshing.
I kept the lines fluid and the colours simple, the challenge is to put movement into the painting with colour and ‘splash’. This design is taken randomly from my pile of pencil & graphite sketches & exercises. I finally get around to reworking the wonderful sketch and expanding the idea.
The close up picture gives a better sense of the paint, paper and the brush stroke. Then there’s the work in progress.
And there’s a link to a short video of me doing this painting.
