New Painting: Pipes



This is another mini-painting, done in gouache on clayboard. I started by playing with the background, dripping colored water on it and chasing it around with a brush. I think that's what makes this look a bit awkward. That's fine with me, because it was so much fun to do. For those of you who don't know, gouache is a finiky medium, and it doesn't help that I'm painting on clayboard, which absorbs all the liquid in the brush. It's a challenge to be subtle.
