Red square

Another new painting playing with red paint and a bit of gold. I wanted more gold really, but as I like using wet on wet and mixing the paint directly on the canvas, but don't always know what I'm doing, the gold paint kept disappearing into the red. Must be something to do with the different textures of the paint. Could do with some technical lessons!

New paintings....


These are two new paintings - unnamed as yet - where I was enjoying playing with metallic paints against a black background. Acrylic on canvas they were done by painting the black background and then applying paint direct to the canvas and manipulating with a knife.
