I have been enjoying creating loose expressionistic water paintings. I want to share that I love Modern Masters Metallic Paint! This is one of my detail shots of a recent abstract, water inspired painting on cradled panel. I am mixing artist acrylics and these Modern Masters Metallic paints too.
But I might not have ever discovered-among other things-these great materials... metallic faux finishing paint and inexpensive "chip" brushes had I not worked with artist Chris Craft. He is my husband and business partner and has years of fine art and commercial art painting. He turned me on to these metallic paints when I was helping him with some of his amazing faux metal ceilings. (This was when he was "Brushmark Studios.")
Below is another detail of my newer work. I am exploring "Water" in a more experiential, more expressive and unplanned way... as compared with my better known women in water paintings. I create depth by painting a layer and sealing it with a layer of gloss varnish. (There is a richness with the layers, and metallics, and contrast between opaque and translucent that cannot be captured with a picture.)
