This piece has a lot of different things going on in it. I started with prints, to make the towers, using corrugated cardboard painted with acrylic paint to make the towers. I then smeared them while they were still a little wet. I added texture with acrylic and paper towels, and splattered watercolors all over the piece. The grids are made with painted drywall tape, another great invention I just found out about. My favorite part is the bright warm colors I achieved by using crushed chalk pastels like watercolors, wet and with a paintbrush. I just learned today that this can be done to paint with the pastels, and it looks wonderful. I think these may replace my finicky watercolors altogether.
