I am still patting myself on the back for amalgamating two paintings into one with my last project on dance and martial arts poses. I am just like a little kid, finding joy in something insignificant or irrelevant and being giddy about it. What is that saying about sloths; their babies are so ugly only their own mothers would love them! Well I'm that sloth's mother.
On the heel of such success I am going to try another one and see if I could duplicate the results.
I have a painting of a Tai Chi sword artist striking a posture and another silhouette painting of a martial artist so these are candidates of my current project. I had tried to reveal foreshortening of the hand within a silhouette painting.
The silhouette painting is going to be the top layer, so it goes down first to be wet mounted.
Next is my Tai Chi sword painting being placed on the silhouette,
So far so good! This is now hung to dry. Still looking good.
Unfortunately the Tai Chi sword layer fades out quite a bit after drying. It has lost its brilliance. It does not appear to be behind a sheer veil anymore.
