Before starting our full size paintings, we did a set of practice paintings to experiment with the new media and processes we had just learned. This included zips, paint pours, using gel mediums, staining, and more. The first practice painting focused on learning zips. I started with a light greenish color and then put strips of tape and painted a dark blue layer and additional "drizzles" of white paint all over. Once this dried, I removed the tape leaving behind the green stripes. For the second painting, I did multiple layers of dark blue and purple paint and did gestural white marks in a semicircle in the right corner. I experimented with gel medium and brushstrokes in the bottom left section and then drips in white and yellow from the top. I think this helped me decide what type of piece I wanted to do for my final and gave me more insight into the processes. I currently do not have photos of my practice paintings but will add them ASAP.
