Here are the latest additions to the Jazz series, painted Sunday and Monday. I like where this is going, so far. The black showing through the colors is due to my technique on this series. Like a couple of other series I've done earlier, I'm using an old 4" brush that has become stiff as a board in order to paint the black ground. This imparts a textured brush stroke to the ground and, once dried, I then scumble the other colors over it with my knife. The ridges formed by the texture are what give the painting it's interesting textural treatment, which I really like. I hope you do, also.
