Helen Frankenthaler experiment




I tried to do my imitation of Frankenthaler. I started with a simple five circle design in thick, black acrylic, then applied very thin coats of red, yellow and black acrylic. Did it work?

Red Strokes On Blue & Blank Space




This was an experiment to see what a dried acrylic paint undercoat does to overcoats of paints. As expected, it darkened the red. Now I'm wondering if there can be an undercoat that can lighten it.

Incomplete

I decide to do a piece with my signature, so I did some experiments with color and came up with this. It strikes me as incomplete. Perhaps some texture or something else could be put in the blue field? What di you think?
