Abstraction

I have been having some fun with abstraction lately.  I love layering different colors and values of colors on TerraSkin.  This paper takes the acrylic wonderfully due to the very smooth surface.  TerraSkin is a paper like product made of crushed stone and is practically indestructible.  For these abstracts I started off by laying down a color in spots and then a layer of gel medium with a palette knife.  After this has all dried, I continue to layer color on with a very large palette knife using varying pressure.  Because there is a layer of the gel there will be spots that are raised and these spots take the paint differently then the smooth areas leaving a lot of texture and variation on the surface.  I love how this looks and feels!
