Metals and Mixed Media Contemporary Abstract, "Metalworks" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Metalworks" 10x10 by Carol Nelson

I had to do this painting as an example for my Metals and Mixed Media class next week in Phoenix. It has aluminum wire pounded into a random design, and some metal washers, in the central goldish stripe. These were covered with aluminum foil pressed around each object, and then antiqued with Golden High Flow Sepia. I love that paint for antiquing.

The orange foil was embossed with a swirl design before painting with Golden Fluids: Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold and Transparent Red Oxide.

 There is also some uncolored aluminum foil that was antiqued with Golden Fluid Carbon Black. The two fancy patterned papers were purchased at an art supply store.

Mixed Media Contemporary Abstract Art "Deliberation" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Deliberation" 36x24 abstract by Carol Nelson

side

detail

This painting is a departure from my usual trees and geologic abstracts. It is purely a nonrepresentational abstract focusing on strong values and design. There are a few textural elements in the form of rocks and tyvek. Also a subtle touch of metal leaf.


Sometimes an artist is lucky, and the painting flows easily on to the canvas. It almost paints itself. Other times there is a stuggle with conflicting colors, designs, and concepts. These paintings require multiple revisions. This painting is in the latter category.

Abstract Landscape Faux batik Painting, "Golden Hour" by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

"Golden Hour" faux batik painting by Carol Nelson

This painting is an example of my "faux batik" process in which the painting is covered with wax, then flooded with a darker color. The dark color seeps into the cracks in the wax and leaves a random pattern. It's a very interesting and unpredictable effect.
