Polypore Fungi - WIP

October 22, 2007

Polypore Fungi - (WIP) 59 H x 41 W x 2 D, Acrylics 

Polipore Fungi - 59 H x 41 W x 2 D Phase 3

(Work In Progress)

Acrylics painting started in June, hung and studied in the loose-phase state; cautious about overworking it. Plans this week: most everything will stay out of focus, with details only on the fungi (starting that next), using a little modeling paste to sculpt the fungi.

Modeling paste will create 3D effects

Oct. 22: top photo Oct.23: Above, modeling paste applied in layers, drying in between - applying too thick creates cracks and unstable structures. This needs to be permanent and adhered well to the canvas.
