Painting cellophane

Posted byArt Belongs to EveryonePosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , ,

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

The work is inspired by an engagement with play and making peace with uncertainty. I work experimentally, using a digital video to explore painting. I use sound and moving images in non-traditional ways to reverse expectations of horror and comedy. I am drawn to the whimsical nature of self-discovery. I construct repeating narratives, often depicting varying scenarios of serenity, silliness, and reflection.
