Scraping On Another Layer.

On top of a canvas painted orange with some white areas, there are two flat paint brushes, a palette knife and a tube of purple paint. A streak of purple paint lies down the left hand side of the canvas, ready to be spread across the painting.
Getting ready for the next layer….

I carried on with a little bit more of my current painting, a nocturne with a fiery figure. I laid some Dioxazine Purple (translucent) onto the Cadmium Orange (opaque) ground with a palette knife and a couple of flat brushes, scraping it to let some of the orange show through.

A painting in progress with three colours, orange, purple and white so far. The paint is heavily textured as it has been put on with a palette knife.
Laying the paint directly onto the canvas.

I’m using Liquitex Heavy Body acrylic paint onto a stretched, sized canvas.
