My goal for the paint experiments at the moment is finding out how different paints react o none another. There are paints that blends well and there are paints that repulse each other. With this in mind you can play with different paints, like the piece in the top picture. This is pearl paint with silk paint. Both paints where wet but didn’t blend together. I also made a drawing with normal wax crayons on lutrador and sprayed some silk paint over it. The drawing stays (which I expected) but you see a difference between the dark colour on the wax crayons and the yellow colour, the dark colour changed the colour of the wax and the yellow didn’t. Sometimes things also go wrong as you see in the tests with metal effects. I did a test with two different base paints; I let them dry and cut them in half. One half I painted with patina green and one half with patina blue. But you can hardly see the difference, I am now wondering if I had to colour the background first with a darker colour? That means that I have to do more experimenting. Like you see; I have a whole pile with background for experiments, so I can go on. I use for each experiment the same material so I can make a good equation. What I also did was painted the Evolon that I bought in England. I started painting on the right side (you can’t see what is the right side, I just picked one) but accidently there was some paint left on my working table, so suddenly the paint appeared on the front. It was a nice effect, so I used that also. I sprayed paint on the front and the back of the Evolon, and it surprised me that the same colour on the back was very different on the front. The back blended a lot better, I now wonder if it has a real back and front? That is the fun thing from experimenting, there are always new questions that you have to solve:-)

Love the experiments you are doing these days. Looking forward to seeing more.
