I use a piece of glass from a picture frame for a palette. Works well for me. When I started painting years ago, I needed a very clean, well organized palette. This is where it has gone now. It's more me.
It can be scraped off and started over, but this works.
It makes for a very pretty abstract. You should frame one or two to document the creative process. This could hang with some of the modern abstracts I've seen in museums. Sort of like a macro section of a pointillist painting meets Jackson Pollock. Thanks for sharing.
I totally LOVE this Maggie. Mega-super eye-popping colors. I was secretly hoping that you would take a shot of your palette. :D So glad you did. Take good care, Les x
great one Maggie, I use glass too, its perfect, do you know if these are oils, you can put a drop of clove oil on each color on your palette and it will stay good for atleast three weeks? its works great saves on paint and it smells like Thanksgiving!!!! haha...
This is one beautiful abstract! I love every inch of it! I've only done watercolor and there isn't much beauty left in that "glass of cleaning water!" But this really looks like a painting just as it is! I'd be tempted to frame this. AND I'm not kidding! :)
Isn't it great to see how you evolve in your craft. Everything at the beginning is usually by the rules and slowly they become your rules. Love the selection - the sky is the limit. :)
@maggie2 -- oh my goodness, I didn't even realize how that might come across. I do not paint. I do love colors and I like to think of myself as a free spirit...I was reading into your words and relating it to the way I live my life. I am constantly trying to re-vamp my organization system only to see it fall apart and to sometimes see that I still manage to do good work despite my clutter. :)
@ellen I understand. You can relate then. I do best when I have a palette like this, brushes laying all around, tubes of paint covering the table and usually a cat on my lap and the dog under my desk, and we all have paint on us.
this is so cool - love all the bursts of colour...I start of fneat and tidy and then there is a point of no return where the order gets overtaken by chaos - I like the chaos best, it tells a story
