| The
painting is one of those examples of what you can do with watercolors
on canvas. There's a rich texture and a lot of color, which was
very thickly applied, oftentimes straight out of the tube. I was
trying for a darker look than some of the others for variety, and
the ever-reliable Liquid Paper (the Kinko's brand) finishes things
off. I really enjoy it; I wanted something with a lot of detail
and variety, and you can obviously see the results for yourself.
The
B-Side is one of the better ones, when I was obsessed with attaching
detailed graffiti artwork on the flip side of the paintings. On
a wall, canvases like this would be hung with a pair of L-hooks,
creating something like a swinging door. That way, you could swivel
the painting back and forth, and enjoy both sides however you wish.
That's the idea, at least. Putting the B-Sides together takes forever,
of course; I'm actually trying to be clever with all the writing
and marker-pen artwork.
Needless
to say, the watercanvas paintings offer one full plate for your
buck. |
