Mendelssohn
- Spring Song - Songs Without Words
Floral abstract with lots of
texture.
Hoover over the painting with
the QuickZoom to see all
details.
You should see this painting live: I
can't
seem to capture this explosive and
colorful painting in a
photo!
I love the experimental and imaginative way of adding alternate materials to create an interesting texture.
Texture is the quality of a surface
(Rough, Slick, Smooth, Grainy)
Texture in a painting is "the feel" of
the
canvas. It can be based on the paint
and
its application or adding additional
materials
such as ribbon, metal, wood, lace,
leather, sand, etc.
Texture in painting stimulates two
different senses: visual and
tactile.
This makes it a
unique element of art.
For this painting I used different mixed media and techniques such as acrylics, sanding, scraping, scratching. layering this abstract and creating depth.

Another way of texturize a
painting:
I like to see the "history" of a
painting, such as the edges of the
painting: they reveal a "history".
Mine are not smoothened out, but are
from
another painting
underneath.
