Started with the airbrush using inks and Golden airbrush paints. Then I used inks on the outside of the plant to drip down and then started to add swirls to make it look like water. So this is where I am at on this painting....not sure I like where I am going with it but I will let it sit for a couple of days and eye ball it.
Chuck says it looks like "Venus Flytrap" so I think this is what I will name it.
I will be adding some Heavy Gloss gel on the outer edge of the flower and where the swirls or the water are and then I will highlight the texture when dry. New photos to follow when done.
Okay I had this painting up for a while on the wall and I was really not liking it at all. The green was too green and after gessoing over it I decided that I didn't like the flower either so I removed most of the petals and landed up with this....I am not sure where I am going with it but I'll play around with it for a while.
Update, it is now Nov and I have played around with this painting way too much. It has taken a complete change and although I am having fun, it is just not going anywhere so I will probably put the painting away for a day that I have the solution to complete it.
Update # 2....it is now early Dec and while in the midst of working on this piece, Joe P, came up behind me and was fascinated with it. He asked me how it evolved and what kind of work I had done on it. As I was telling him what materials and how long I had worked on it, it came to me where I wanted to go with it and finished it by the next day. Joe of course fell in love with it.....so it became his Christmas gift. I am waiting for him to take a couple of photos on a clear day so you can see the details. The glare from the glossy mediums I used makes it hard to see.
