Crouching Tiger, by snowflake8888 on Aug 12, 2008 17:36:29 GMT 1, Hi, this is a piece titled "Crouching Tiger". I'm bringing the stencil to use for the Matt Small Project tomorrow.
I've continues working with layers and I've put in silverchrome detailing on her blue cloak. I've also done up the tiger in progressive layers.
What I'm tinkering with is the idea of making the canvas look as if the piece has been taken right off the street. I've coated the canvas in a layer of pumice paste. When it dries, it takes on the texture of rough concrete. I think it feels kind of interesting to touch. In a way this is a bit of tactile art. I've held back on the shading in the background because I think it will detract from the texture produced by the paste.
I'm going for the street texture on the tiger behind and clarity for the girl (who is painted on canvas). I've been intrigued by the paste since I saw it and wanted to see how it would work out with this image specifically in mind.
I would appreciate any comments you may have, because it helps me get better. Thank you for your time!

Crouching Tiger, by darrenrapley on Aug 12, 2008 19:41:27 GMT 1, I really can't find much to fault this. I am no expert though but it is nice on the eye and I keep coming back to it. Nice idea with the texture

Crouching Tiger, by Danny O'Connor on Aug 12, 2008 20:44:26 GMT 1, I like it!!! The use of texture is nice too. There are a lot of different texture pastes available and they're nice to play around with.
Your stencils look really good but I'd be like to see any non stencil work you can show us as well!
Keep up the good work.
