Untitled - Detail
For Macro Mondays, "Crack."
An approximately 1.25 inch detail from a 48-inch square contemporary painting. The artist laid down a black base, placed string stretched horizontally at intervals, and then applied a thick impasto layer of red acrylic paint. The string was pulled off, cracking the red layer and revealing the under-layer as rough black lines. The gold stripes were applied and the painting was finished with a urethane top coat.
