Painting cellophane

Scroll down to content

After long week of mostly reading, I finally sat down at the easel and began this painting. It is a conch covered in cellophane. It is a metaphor for the oceans being filled with plastic. It may be a new series. Painting cellophane is not easy. I had to remind myself that painting is about seeing, really looking at the subject.

WORK IN PROGRESS: From a sea of plastic you were taken and to plastic you return, 12X12, oil on panel.

Here are some earlier pictures of the workin progress.

I love painting translucent and transparent still lives, but cellophane is tricky. If you have any tips or tricks about painting it, please share!

Thank you for reading about my painting process.

My best,
Emily Warren

My favorite thing about painting is the process. I love the feeling. The mind space that is required to really be into a painting. The process is somehow difficult and relaxing, challenging and rewarding, it boosts my confidence and humbles me all at the same time. There is no other feeling like creating a beautiful painting. It's satisfying to experience a range of emotions in a just a couple of hours by moving paint around. Sometimes I wipe all the paint off after a day or so.
