This was the original unfinished painting I began working with. It's a stain painting on unprimed canvas to give the colors a soft bleeding effect. My first step is build up a richer, more solid surface so that the transfers would have somewhere to sit instead of bleeding right into the fibers of the canvas.
Above is the piece with the first two layers of paint over the original. I'm trying to punch up the colors, using more primary hues blocked in with larger brush strokes. When I get enough activity going on the canvas then I will start to apply transfers and push and pull from there to accentuate certain areas and subdue others.
These are some of the digital pieces I will be working with as transfers. Some are more detailed and rich, others are simple with the assumption that they will combine with richer, more chaotic areas of painting.
