TOPIC: Another Transparency
07th October 2012
Another of the many ways to do transparent type paintings is to use bleach to draw on colored fabric, and then hold it to the light. The one shown here was actually done many years ago on green canvas. Working outdoors, I quickly brushed these designs using bleach as the "paint"; a reverse kind of painting, for sure. Other than the stink of bleach, it was quite fun!
The ultimate type of transparent painting is probably dyeing silk. This medium I have not used before; but that will soon change. As soon as the supplies arrive, I'm off to another art adventure.
