This is a mixed media piece that includes paint, rubbing alcohol, tissue paper, and thread. First, I painted the entire canvas blue and white which gave it a denim-like feel. Next, I added orange paint to the lower half of the canvas using a palette knife.<\/p>\n
I cut the continents out of tissue paper and arranged them on top of the orange paint. I splattered some yellow paint on top to look like lights on the surface of the earth as they are seen from space. The tissue paper was then adhered to the canvas and I added some white paint around the edges for highlights.<\/p>\n
Then, I wrapped black thread around the canvas horizontally. I did this three separate times and adhered the thread to the canvas after each interval. I painted on top of the thread to blend it into the piece. It adds a lot of texture and literally ties the piece together.<\/p>\n
I also used tissue paper to create texture on the top of the canvas. I then used a rubbing alcohol resist over the paint and tissue paper (and also along the bottom of the canvas). This was to create the polar ice caps.<\/p>\n
Finally, I added more tissue paper (red and yellow) to the top center portion of the canvas.<\/p>\n
There is so much texture in this painting; no picture can do it justice!<\/p>\n
<\/i>Ignite<\/em>\u00a0is a 100% hand-painted original acrylic abstract painting on high-quality gallery wrapped cotton canvas. All four sides of the canvas are painted as a continuation of the painting and it comes ready-to-hang for a frameless display.<\/p>\n The canvas is stretched over sturdy pine stretcher bars and hand-splined on the back to minimize the number of staples. It is also coated with a UV-resistant conservation varnish to prevent fading and to protect your investment from dirt and dust.<\/p>\n
