Learning new skills in abstract composition

I’ve been busy studying a new style of abstract composition. This painting is 18″ x 24″ x 1.5″ on canvas done in acrylics, watercolor and ink. Finished with a lovely matte varnish.

Title: Matched

There are so many small details, scratches into paint, small doodles and alcohol bubbles.

Each face started from a wash of burnt umber. The pink is the original background. After the washes these two faces just appeared.

The blooms were the original inspiration and my main focus until the faces appeared. I love when that happens!
