Finding It's Way by Janet Bludau, Abstract Landscapes, Abstract Seascapes, Rich in Color and Texture


Finding It's Way
8" x 10" Oil
Showing some Red Under Painting in my paintings is common for me.  I also like Black or Turquoise.
I will sometimes come back in with a bit of turpentine in small areas to lift off paint I have applied, so as to bring it down to the under painting if my eye is telling me there should be more.  I also like to work a painting in stages.  This means that I finish a painting to a point where there is paint on the entire canvas and then I hang it for a while.  I look at it while I am working on another project.  I take it down and add or subtract, making the changes that I feel the piece needs to have more balance of color, more pop, texture, etc.

To The Sea by Janet Bludau, Abstract Landscapes and Seascapes


12" x 12" on Deep Birch Panel
Ready to hang alone or with "Meandering" and "As Far As The Eye Can See", both of which can also be found on my Website:  http://janetbludau.fineartstudioonline.com/
The wood sides have been waxed with a clear Briwax and buffed

There is a red underpainting applied in the first stage of this painting.
After that I have gone in and added layers, changing parts of the painting as I go.
The last stage is where I took several Oil Sticks to the grass areas and also scratched into the oil with palette knives.
