After taking some time away from plein air painting, I was looking for a different "something" to do during the Winter. My friend, Sandra, had attended a painted paper workshop taught by Anne Bagby (see her website at
http://www.annebagby.com/)
Experimenting with the wonderful ideas that come with painting on different types of paper has resulted in my new "painted paper" obsession. The entire process is hard to explain...so I'd suggest you visit Anne's website to see the exciting things that can be done with acrylic paint on various papers.
Beginning with a 12"x12" paper, layers of paint, stamping, stenciling, etc are applied. The paper can be turned until a theme or object becomes clear.

...portion of a 12"x12" acrylic painting on varying papers. Letting the pattern printing show through gives movement to the lower right.
...a portion of a 12"x12" acrylic painted acid-free tissue paper. Layering the paints, stamping and stencils allows me to see all the possibilities in subjects and themes.
This is another example of the techniques taught by artist Anne Bagby http://www.annebagby.com/.
