Mixed Media - work in progress

I found this old canvas when I was looking for something else in my attic.

It was part of the Ada Lovelace series, but in the end I rejected it as too bland.

So, I have now decided to recyle it and as you can see I have pulled some of the motifs off the canvas and I have painted over the rest.

The first layer was black gesso, then dark red acrylic and a bronze acrylic layer on top.

It now awaits another layer of black acrylic.

I just love painting over stitching and fabric and seeing something new emerge.
