Abstract landscape, "Lavender Sky" by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

Lavender Sky, 8x10, by Carol Nelson


The value of deconstruction: this painting started out as a collage in these colors. I hated it. I tried and tried to make it better, and it just got worse in my eyes. It laid around my studio for several months. One day I started tearing layers off of it. I thought I couldn't make it worse. I wanted to get down to the wood substrate and reuse it.

Suddenly, I stopped and looked at it again - it was getting better. There was a suggestion of rocks and a tree form that I enhanced. The painting was telling me what to do next! Some of the original materials are still on the surface. I wish I had taken a photo of the work before I started the deconstruction.

Geologic Abstract Painting, Mixed Media Art "Black Gold" by Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Black Gold" 10x8 inches, by Carol Nelson

This is a demo painting I did in a recent Geologic Abstract workshop. The black section is Carbon Black acrylic paint, Micaceous Iron Oxide paint, and white.

 I covered it with a layer of Liquitex Pouring Medium for a very shiny finish. I'm always excited by the juxtaposition of shiny and dull passages.

Geologic Abstract Demo II, © Carol Nelson Fine Art


This is another demo painting of my geologic abstract series. In workshops, I often paint on watercolor paper, and then mount it on a wood panel. The reason is that in a workshop we are pressed for time. Working on wc paper helps the texture medium dry more quickly.

 In the studio, I can texture my substrate (wood panel or canvas) directly, then work on it at a later time when everything is dry.

Mixed media geologic abstract, "Hidden Passage" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Geologic Abstract, "Hidden Passage" by Carol Nelson
This heavily textured painting on wood panel was a demo for my recent Geologic Abstracts workshop held in my Colorado studio. There are actual small pebbles imbedded in the painting. The predominant palette is warm sienna and red oxide tones, but there are areas with cool-toned highlights of blue, green and turquoise.
