My Mom was sick and I needed to help her out and walk her dog ... so with little time I literally threw an experiment together. I wet the paper on both sides and poured and dripped paint on. Then I took a handful of grass hay and scattered it on the wet paint. It didn't lay down on the paint, so I placed a sheet of acrylic over it and a weight (my art backpack) to press the hay down into the paint.
Hours later when it was dry I brushed the hay away. Very dull, pale paint and not much texture. Hmmmf! So I set it aside thinking it was a bust.
While having lunch I gazed over at it and started to see things! Yes, leaves AGAIN. I must have a thing about leaves. So I started to enhance the leaves and the grass texture. Maybe this will turn into something afterall. My Mom sounds better today, so maybe this afternoon I can play with it some more ...
