Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
'Emergence' amusingly evolved from an intuitive exploration of the uses of new catalyst tools I had obtained to play with.
First I rather haphazardly painted my canvas with acrylic colors I found pleasing. After drying I painted a layer of black acrylic over the entire canvas and proceeded to move my new silicone wedges over the surface revealing the colors underneath. Using acrylics, I had to work fast! There was no choice but to allow my inner artist to take charge and go with the flow ☺
A case where the process becomes the art!

Dear Zan, thanks so much for sharing this technique in your backstory and in the Artist BUZzz! I am transported …way back to earliest years where crayons were used to cover cardboard paper turning the surface into a waxy abstract. The surface was flooded with Indian ink and that was left to dry. The next day one faced a black “canvas” and with an angled stick, flat scrapes and sharp lines revealed the forgotten Colour patterns below. There is something immediate, authentic and “childlike” when entering that realm of possibility. Conni mentioned “resist work”…this is still my fav form of it. I will post one in the BUZzz! In the meantime…I am loving this…your elegant ferny flame that vibrates into instrumental music …in Laurelland …FAV and best to you!

Fun, Fun, Fun! Right?!! Definite warm fuzzies traveling back in time to crayon scratch offs!

I meant on my wall - not my walk (because that would be weird). ;)
Zan Savage replied:
LOL oh I don't know, that might be fun! Hahaha!! Thank you so much Issie - you just made my day :-))

This is so my type of art - I'd have this on my walk if I had any more room. Really love this.

Wonderful, creative, inventive and a great sense of exploration. Loved your description and loved what came about. Beautiful Zan!!

Beautiful, intuitive and creative work Zan! Don’t you just love how acrylics force you to move fast, keeping the creative flow streaming out of you? You “Just Do It”, as Nike says.
Zan Savage replied:
LOL yes - Just Do It!! I do indeed enjoy the way our choice of medium and in this case, the process, can direct our movements and speed. Working quickly definitely forces me to draw upon my intuition... Thank you deeply for your kind words and for sharing your much appreciated thoughts!
