The basic assignment was to choose any 3 colours, along with black and white. The instructions were to use a large piece of paper taped off into smaller sections and for no longer than 30 minutes paint the entire page as a whole, using whatever tools we wished and disregarding the sections.
The photo above is what I had done in the 30 minutes. I used bubble wrap, two sizes of paint brushes, a scrub brush, a toothbrush, a piece of plastic canvas, a folded piece of card stock, and the end of a large dowel.
We were then instructed to pull off the tape and photograph the work to share in the group.
Here is a look at the other five sections close up.
I saw similarities between my Saori weaving and my painting exercise.
Both show my attraction to colour and texture.
I'd love for you to see what the other (over 6,000!) group members came up with in this assignment but it's a private Facebook group just for those who enrolled.
Such variety has come from the same basic instructions, and I can see something to admire in everyone's efforts.
