Expressionism, Contemporary Painting, Mixed Media Art, “Energy” by Texas Contemporary Artist Sharon Whisnand


This is an "energetic" acrylic painting with a lot of texture and color. Sometimes paintings come together easily and sometimes they don't. I love using gesso before beginning a painting for a couple of reasons - to create an underlying texture and to give "tooth" and to scribble or press items into the wet gesso to create underlying patterns. This painting has splatters, colors of turquoise, yellow, orange and a deep burgundy. Drywall tape (the kind with little holes) was used to create additional raised texture, then some heavier acrylic was slung across and dripped down. A very fun and energetic painting was created.

Expressionism, Contemporary Painting, Mixed Media Art, “Learn to Dance” by Texas Contemporary Artist Sharon Whisnand

Submit Gesso created texture to this painting as an under layer. A lot of interesting things are in this painting for the viewer to see the movements in this painting and the part circle reminded me of dancing. Many layers of color were glazed on to create dimension.
