I've been intrigued lately with using white paint and metallics on white or previously dyed fabrics. These are my initial experiments. The first and third photos are of muslin that I "marbled" a while back, using the suminagashi technique (printing oily ink that's floating on water). The second and fourth photo are prints on white muslin.
For these pieces I used white gesso, which is an acrylic, although commonly used to underpaint canvas. But I think I'll try white acrylic paint next time to see if the results are any different.
The sun's out this morning and I'm on my way to the studio shortly. Hope you have a wonderful day!
