Trying some different techniques- 1 - a photo on Flickriver

View On Black

When I was working with wood, 5-10 years ago I often used aniline wood dyes that had brilliant color- ruby red, peacock and royal blue, deep orange and bright yellow for example. I had been wanting to try these dyes on canvas and paper for backgrounds but couldn't find my stash of powders. Yesterday I found them and today the kitchen is a mess!. Actually I mixed the colors quite densely and soaked pieces of paper, gauze pads, fabric, etc and used the soaked pieces to print on paper, layering the colors, sometimes going very intgense sometimes subtler. In any event these two pieces started that way then had a layer of transparent pastel ground which was followed with a layer of soft pastel. I've got a few more in progress I hope to get some interesting results.
