It's been cold outside here in New York so, "working in layers" was the theme of today. For this post I'm going to explain a little of my white layering technique and show off my two latest paintings from yesterday and today. These are day 4 and 5 of the "Thirty Paintings in 30 Days" challenge.

So of the two of these, "Flora Embrace" is the better depiction of my white layering and masking technique. So the idea is I play around with color and composition, line and pattern and I really just have fun and use bright colors. Then I take a deep breath and slap on a whole thick layer of white and use my color shaper tool to push off the white and reveal what's underneath. What I pulled off a little picture of a plants that I got from a sketch I did from my head the other day.
