New string art

This new piece was done in the same grunge style with string. The paints I used were acrylics, many of them watered down to a very thin consistency. The colors are unbleached titanium, raw umber, a bit of titanium white and mars black, and hooker's green. I really like the final result of this piece, and was less challenging than the last one, now that I have gotten used to the steps.

New string art

This grunge style painting was done with string. I used acrylic paints to color it, burnt and raw umber, as well as burnt sienna, mars black, and yellow ochre. I love this style of abstract painting, and the string really adds a unique dimensionality  to each piece.

String abstract

I just created what I believe is one of my favorite pieces to date, next to the wraith in a city painting, and the abstract needles one. This painting was done on a framed piece of wood that was given to me by a friend. It saved me the trouble of having to frame it myself. I was online, looking at string wall installations, and artists using sting in their art, when I thought I would give it a try myself. This is my first try using string in a painting, and I think it turned out pretty successful.
