The first step we took in creating our Abstract Expressionist paintings was actually creating two practice paintings. My first painting was very minimalistic. I focused on using the zipping technique, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I also experimented with incorporating a bold color, in this case, neon orange. My second painting was very very different than my first. I used many techniques and bright colors to create various layers. The first layer was just a smooth application of neon pink paint. Over that, I used a palette knife to apply grey paint. I really love how the neon pink only shows through the grey in some places. Next I added a few more colors with the palette knife and some neon yellow pastel marks. I do not love how this painting ended up all together, however, I do really like some of the individual techniques I used. Making these practices was extremely helpful and really a learning experience.
