Negative Painting


I love the negative paintings by Sue Davis and was inspired to have a go. On a negative painting the background is painted first and then one paints around the object [the white area in my picture] rather than painting the object itself. I painted the canvas with dark green and used handmade stamps and stencils in bright colours for the details. I painted two coats of white paint on top and was debating as to whether to give it another coat but decided to leave it at that.


Happy Paint Party Friday

    I do enjoy the color, and it sure doesn't look negative.

    How beautiful and SO original! I would never have thought of doing a negative image this way.
