Till now I overpainted photographs and acrylic transferred photographs from images I took on location.
I wanted to go one step further and see my painting responses to my own paintings. For this study I decided to use the images from project 2 ‘Textured ground – Triptych‘ – images click here.
I went to inkjet print no.2 and no.3 and to acrylic transfer them to thicker acrylic paper. I already new how to do it, so no surprises expected.
Work in progress
After transfer I tried to get rid of the cloudy acrylic layer on the image, repetitive rubbing with water helps a bit. I worked with oil and oil paint, last layer a thick glaze with stand oil, letting it drip down a bit. Working with spatula and palette knives.

=> I do not find those so convincing – too many hurdles. The color turned out quite muddy. What I liked was the underlying layers coming through with the oil paint standing in the foreground. The images of my base paintings are not visible any longer. A kind of surrealistic landscape, quite constructed. I will not include them in my series of pantings for my assignment.
