From THIS to THAT...a wildflower painting by Sue Scoggins, North Carolina Painter
It's time to share. Find a great song. This one was "Oh Happy Day." Sing it in your head. (If the doors are closed, you can sing it out loud!) After toning the canvas with yellow and magenta ink, I dried it with a hairdryer. Then wrote the lyrics all over the canvas. Once dry, I brushed on gesso for texture and toning down the background. While all this was going on, I could see wildflowers beginning to appear. The rest was envisioning fields and using intuitive colors and shapes and negative painting around the shapes. Give it a try. You'll like it!
