Black and white abstracts are some of themost difficult to do, and why I love so many of the abstract expressionists who worked that way, Franz Kline most of all. He was a bad ass and reproductions in books do not do his work justice. The MFAHouston has some sweet Klines.
![]() Motherwell did a ton of black n white abstract and he too started adding tiny bits of color. ![]()

well in the paint itself. the brighter parts dont looks as bring in reality. from those shitty pics you lose things like texture etc, but they give it light although i dont use flash. Quote:

@nefeli - ah… i wasn't sure if you were speaking about the canvas itself or the light bulbs on the photo.
for the canvas maybe use a clear gloss acrylic medium/ gloss topcoat/ gloss varnish? for photos i've had semi good luck using diffused floods w/ color balanced globes and a studio stand (this one costs $). but even on a wall a couple of used scoops are cheap and the globes are cheap too but last only 2h maybe and the color balanced light makes all the difference. these are continuous lights not flashes. like these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._Socket.htm l plus maybe these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...lter_pack.html |

You could try applying something like Damar varnish. Most people use it all over for a 'finished' look, but there's nothing to stop you only applying it to the areas you want to brighten up. Only problem using it this way is the results aren't totally predictable and if you don't like the effect it's hard to correct afterwards. |

any varnish you apply over the paint will yellow with time. even acrylic gloss varnish.
oh for the toxic days of pure white paint made with lead. ![]()

all of them, will yellow with time. varnishes and glosses are polymer compounds, whether natural or synthetic, and will all yellow and crackle.
Oil paint is good stuff, but so many colors are either toxic or mildly radioactive. Cobalt Blue, chromium red, lead white, etc etc. death from art it follow3s the dictum that Bukowski said when he said "find out what you love and let it kill you."

i just ran out of bandwidth (fuck fuck fuck) but i like the nefeli painting with the rectangle at the bottom, the best (can't quote pictures now).
--- @ rob- hA! too true. but does that mean then that all acrylic PAINTS eventually yellow? because mediums are what the paints themselves are made of. -- ps- i've seen a huuuuuuuge difference between something like modpodge and something like this: http://www.dickblick.com/products/go...nishes/#photos |

acrylic paints are comparatively new so we do not know what will happen after 100 years on the wall. My guess is that since they are a plastic medium, they will crumble and become brittle as all fuck and start flaking off the canvas and all that shit.
Oil paints take so long to dry that many 300 year old paintings barely have any crazing on them!

haa haaa haa it's blick's art supplies. don't know why "dick". maybe it's the name of the guy.
anyway don't sweat it if you can't see it, it's a picture of GOLDEN acrylic varnishes. im assuming nefeli painted her stuff w/ acrylic, hence it's the same plastic as any gloss medium she'd apply, doomed to suffer the same destiny all together. acrylic medium vs. modpodge makes a HUUUUGE difference in collages. modpodge yellows instantly and fucks the color. golden mediums are clear clear clear. worth the money. i've also used sennelier oil pastel fixative (i think it was sennelier, maybe a different french brand) and it's FANTASTIC. totally transparent. people are like "use aquanet, it's cheaper" but i'm like "fuck noes!". in 100 years we'll all be dead ![]() |

I will have my consciousness uploaded to a hypercube and exist much as Dr. Moriarty did the Star Trek Next generation, until a fully functionally cyborg body can be built and then I will spend ten years at the bottom of the ocean and then head out for the asteroid belt.

i find the idea of a disembodied consciousness terrifying. like solitary confinement but worse. no pain, no pleasure, no skin, no taste, no color, no satisfying piss/dump, no music but only the idea of music-- holy shit, i'll off myself.

yo! thank you all and for taking the time. sorry if you wasted time!
i looked at them in the day light and well the parts i wanna to look brighter, they do. they probably needed some time for the colors to 'sit'. im taking into account the things you mentioned, but i wont use any for now. i just should not make many layers on the parts i want brightness, in order for the whites to prevail.. i could use spray as well, but dunno if i m allowed. those are to see what i ll do again for the exams and they are some rules i think. you can use anything but oils for example. also for those i use house paint, really few acrylic, gouache, pencils and my hands and nails to scratch things off. ah and in the one that is more grey, the second in demon's post here, i used ink as well. will do larger ones from today. 100x70cm. and goodmoooooorning. xxx |
