The Syndicate

This one is sort of an advancement on some earlier poured painting ideas. I put wax borders down to contain each pour.

She says "Oh that's so nice, tell him thank you for me!"

I have a few new ones to share:

Thanks, ladies! The frog is one that I'm very proud of. My aunt asked if I took that photo myself when I put it on Facebook. Best post!!

The frog is actually from a picture I took at the cottage this summer:

Did this for my nephew, it's him and his girlfriend, I think it's a gift for her.

He was cool, but rude.

Thanks for bein' there, you guys.

That's a frog that I took a pic of this summer at the cottage.

And this one was another learning experience. I learned that Epoxy Resin generates enough heat as it sets to melt wax!

Before the resin pour, the painting looked like this:



Here are a couple of angles from after the pour:

This is another one where I used some wax:

Sorry, Epi, but by the time you had posted that, I had already painted over it.

Here's what it looks like now:



I cut into the wax after painting, to make those curvy lines at the corners.

So sometimes things don't work out. I just finished up on a painting that I don't really like. I believe I'll paint over it, but I thought I'd share it anyway:

So, I don't want to make anyone sad, but I made a mistake with that red painting. It was not as dry as I thought, and I put it on something on an slight angle, and the paint all ran. It is now a different painting, and the one I posted here is gone forever.

I'll miss some parts, but I do love the new version as well:



I call it "The Spectre of Death" now, because that dark area to the left looks, to me, like some Skeletor Grim Reaper, and I likes it!

Nothing formal. This thread? My Imgur, among a bunch of other stuff?

Nice! Must be the red base.

Thanks guys! Caught the bug again and I went and made another one last night:



I have a few more ideas I want to try as well. I want to mix this technique with encaustic (wax) painting.

Never exhibited anything, I only have a vague notion as to how I would go about doing that, really. Take them to some place and say "Hey, you wanna hang these on your wall?"

Sorry for hogging this thread to myself, but:

So, I never ended up doing anything more with that painting, until today... for Valentine's Day, I made it into a rose for Black Rock.

Makaze will always be held in high esteem here for his work in fixing our site after the Incident. I'd love to see some of his work!

Here's one James and I did a couple of nights ago. He counted the various paintings the three of us have done that are hanging in the house, and it was the thirtieth. James wanted to mark it as such, so we did a little golden glitter 30.

Yeah, I took a bunch of paints and little canvasses in, and some examples of previous pours:



, and they each made at least one... a couple of them did more than one. Here's some photos, so many great ones! They choose the colours, and they tilt the canvas to flow the poured paint around.

I went to my son Tyler's Beaver colony last week to do a poured painting session with them... bunch of 5 - 7-year-olds. Went great... Tyler's was really awesome, pictured above:

Maybe... it's on a plastic lid though. A lid from a container that has stuff in it... supposed to go back when I'm done.

Damn, I poured this on top of a bunch of wooden hexagons with the intention to cut them out when it's dry... now I love it very much and I'm sad I have to cut it up:



Oh geez, I can see a legit phoenix in there!

Here's another poured painting... I want to paint over it like the Jack Skellington one.

Not sure why... Google Photos is not easy to share.

Here's another one from tonight. Poured painting that I worked back into to enhance what I saw (the figure) from the randomness.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 12:41 am I don't see how you would on that.

That's incredible work. I envy your ability.

Thank you!

I downloaded the movie, and found a shot of him that I liked, and I Photoshopped him on to use as a guide. I penciled him in lightly, then painted.

Acrylic paint... poured painting, then painted over with Mr Skellington.

Here's a random splattery thing I made as sort of an underpainting:



And a couple of alterations in Photoshop of it:

Me too.

But we have 7 more canvasses, so we'll see where this experience goes.

That's the first iteration... then we got some other paint and went back into it:

Here's something I whipped together with my son James. The colours weren't really by choice... they were the only oils left from a bunch that were stored in the garage, and mice got into them. We wanted to play with layering and texture a little, but the condition of the paints made it difficult.... need to get some new paints and try it again.

Jean-Paul Riopelle.... I think this is a close-up of a larger painting... but just look at that. How do you paint like that? Insane.

It's not mine, but:



I can't even handle this stuff:
