Attempting abstracts

The theme for this month's art group meeting was "Abstracts" - rather daunting for most of us attending.  However, some useful ideas and links to videos were circulated before the 2 hour evening session and everyone tackled the task with gusto.

I started off with a quarter sheet of heavy watercolour paper (the back of a failed painting), and while waiting for areas to dry, I attempted another three starts on A4 drawing paper.  I certainly had no plan in mind - it was just a case of trying things out and going with the flow.  Certainly no keepers, but good fun.

Materials used - gesso, cardboard stencils, wax crayon, Inktense pencils, fluid and soft body acrylic, ink, Posca pens, wide colour shaper, credit card, bamboo stick, drips, splatter and abandon.
