| G BROMMER PAINTING #2 STAGE 1 |
I forgot to bring my camera home yesterday, so this is the first opportunity I have to post what I have been doing in this wonderful, exciting workshop. Normally one collages down white or near white papers and then covers them with gesso. I decided to try colored papers as part of the mix to see if any of it will show through in the final result. I always view what I do in a workshop setting is all experimental and don't expect great results. It's not about making great paintings, it's about trying new things, seeing how these concepts work, which ones you like, which ones don't appeal, etc.

Here is the final result after gesso was brushed over the entire surface (forgot to photograph!) then this imaginary image was created. I was working with Watercolor Sticks and think this is a great surface for this form of watercolor. As you can see, very little of the painted papers color shows through.
Here are a few more images I have been working on. The last one feels very unsatisfying but I don't think I am going to waste any more time on it.

The color isn't quite right in the photo and the sky should have more detail but you get the idea.

I so see a tree in that last piece that you aren't caring much for, Myrna. As trees are my favorite thing in nature, I hope you see it too and want to finish this piece. Anyway, I love watching you experiment and I love the almost ghostly sense to these figures in your pieces!
Hi Myrna, It looks like you're experimenting with gusto! It would be fun to see these pieces in person. They look mysterious and fascinating!
