Negative painting experiment by Ruth Dolan

Lovely bold shapes and colours Ruth. I mentioned to Sylar that yours and his stand well together.

Very striking Ruth, nicely done.

A very positive, negative painting Ruth.

Works extremely well with those vibrant yellows and oranges Ruth.

great painting

Hi Ruth, lovely to see your work again. I struggle with negative painting, my brain just doesn't like it:) but yours is great, very eye catching.

I end up in knots trying to accomplish negative painting Ruth. You, however have no trouble at all, a very striking and colourful image. I especially like how the darker areas pick out the forms of the leaf shapes.

Love this style and colours.

Lovely combination of shapes and colours, Ruth. Negative painting is very effective (but quite difficult, I find).

Thank you all for your kind comments which have encouraged me so much. It is a very challenging technique and I keep losing my place!

Wow...this sings.

Thank you Sylvia, it was great fun to do. I find negative painting has a way of evolving by itself as you go on so I find it quite relaxing too, to sort of go with the flow....
