pic0822 - Palette Pieces

Acrylic on A4 paper - 15/01/13

 

I use a paper plate as a mixing palette and it was a joy to discover that after a while the dried paint can be peeled away. It's beautifully textured on the top and smooth on the bottom so I had to use it somehow. This is two palettes worth of peelings stuck on to wet acrylic paint.

 

After it dried I noticed that there were a lot of sharp points on the surface and I realised that these points would damage other pictures above in the pile. So I store this picture under a piece of strong cardboard - the sort you get at the end of a pad of paper. This had resulted in some of the peaks being flattened, especially the two red blobs.
