'Amnio Bunny' New Piece

'Amnio Bunny'.



9x12 Board
Acrylic and Black Marker.

One of the new pieces that I did just last night, it possibly shows but I don't care. True to the original doodle of a 'slightly' malformed parody of a bunny which I scribbled into one of my cheap little black books (markers bleed through numerous pages) resized to fit the board size that I am using.

I primed the boards with Cadmium Yellow Hue for a nice bright finish, upon drying I then splodged some red and gold acrylics onto my mixing plate and using some scrunched up tinfoil dabbed over the surface. letting this dry I then drew the bunny outline with marker, filling in the eyes before applying masking fluid to the outlines. I then let this dry and then roughly daubed some of the Cadmium Yellow. when this dried I peeled back the masking fluid to reveal the intact thick black bunny outline.

I have started using the masking fluid technique quiote a lot in experiments and it is giving some good results especially to the way that I create my work. It isnt perfect, but nether am I, so it all works out quite well.

Bunnies, in numerous bizarre forms are taking up a lot of my time at the moment, I cannot pinpoint the exact time or the reason I started debasing them. Possibly, I distres and distort the childlike image of the rabbit, being cute and fluffy? Dunno, I'm sure that a psych evaluation will sort this fetish out!
