9"x12" acrylic on paper / detail view
I'm rather disappointed with myself on this one. I wanted a quick finish on something, and since I spent most of my studio time preparing canvases with solid colors, I hastily chose cadmium red to fill in the white spaces against the silver in the piece I'd started on day 15.
I had thought it would have an interesting matte/metallic contrast, but the intensity and uneven application of the red seem to overpower the subtleties in the silver which I'd enjoyed so much. I'll look at it again tomorrow and maybe try to revert to white or some other color, but it has lost the delicacy and immediacy of an exposed paper surface. Ah well.
