Timelapse demo

Demo

This is the work from the timelapse demo, I rushed this slightly for the video but it is a good example of the materials used and the range of marks that can be achieved. The smooth surface of the card is covered with wax and this allows for the layers of paint to be removed.  I always feel that this type of work is a great way to try out colours and forms for larger paintings and it's easy to overwork them, so it's always important to leave them at this stage.

The wax helps because it's a good way to retain some of the original white of the card and use this in the final composition. Making masks with torn paper has the same effect.
