Ref 956.- Throwing paint -initial notes

It is my belief, that random marks on paper have more grace that contrived marks, masking fluid is recommended to get also specific effects with this technique, as this is something new in which I´vegot some lack of experience, I did the following paints without masking fluid to discover how the wáter follows its own path it will be more or less stay out of dry áreas leaving hard edges whites there while flowing freely as a wash
Then these are the steps:
Sprinkle wáter onto the painting surface
Load a brush with paint and wáter and flinge it at the paper
And then most important of all ,.- selectively spray the paint with wáter to stired in the desired direction (I did use a strow to blow in the direction I needed to over the wetting path)
This exercise it was quite simple regarding the figure to paint, but results are interesting- lights are made with a syntetic sponge for wetting paper or wiping out excess of wáter and/or by rolling a paper towel over it

Ref 956.- Christmas it is not a Season, it is a feeling 

Ref  957; For my following exercise; I start by the wet on wet tehnique, lifting color shapes as son as posible to keep lighting clear áreas nevertheless I begun with darker/médium color hues, tilting the paper as my interest, as paper dry I completed better shapes but always lifting color with paper towel, if paper dried so soon I applied wáter onto selective áreas with a sprayer, I had several issues with shapes already done so I had to do it again  and again reinforce defined lines
Lesson learnt; the spray make textures if applied correctly not so wet and/or dry (see dark and blue colors which makes the pinture more alive sue the stained particles among the shadows)

                      Ref 957; "There is a Christmas song, upon the air"

 

 

Ref 958 Practice is the main ingredient to go ahead; in my following painting with more confidence I start for throwing paint and lifting paint to live fading áreas but keeping paper white zones for the end, this time the initial colors where rather middle value to reinforce or clarify accordingly and again I start with the darker zones of the painting idea, as I evolve first one color mixing with either upper or down hue of the Wheel color chart red, blue and yellow color to make greens mixing basically at the paper, as paper still wet I did some scratches lines through out different satges on it and as it dry the darker defined lines at the top

Lesson learnt; you need to work quikly  to take advantages of the different mixing and colors needs to be primaries to make good contrasts and vivid colors, well at least for this example

 

Ref 958.-  "The flowers leave a part of their fragrance in the hands that caress them"

 

 

Ref 959; throwing paint without try to mix to much in order to have defined ares of color

It Works in some way because you need to wait for dry before throwing a different color on it taking advantage of selective wetting this time through sponge.- In this ocassion I start with clear colors to complete with darkers as it dries also I added more definition, however as it can see, there are several marks of paint which I couldn´t lift  so I need to keep the paper wet enough to make transitions but at the same time I need this to be dry to throw another color this was the dilema

Bonus painting ref 960

I had a new color paper shine silver color in which I tried to make a watercolor painting

the result give me additional ideas for future projects, however I did this while I figure it out out to throw paint without dirty marks on it "A breaking time"

 

The White color of the rainy drops was made with watercolor White  but the drops of the window were made with White gouache it is posible to see the difference

The nwe paper Works good and I´ll try something accordingly to take advantage of the original color like in pastel art it Works

 

Ref 960 "There is a girl, getting wet in the rain, outside my window"

 

 

  I took this photograph before White gouache dries to represent in some way better the concept idea, when it dries left marks but clear enough to represent rainy drops into the window
