Three Sisters B

Three Sisters B is painted on a 8” x 6”, 20 cm x 15 cm,  ½” MDF panel using mixed paint media. Three Sisters B has a high gloss resin finish and was painted in 2020.

Three Sisters B is from a group of paintings on black panels that explore self leveling binders and pigments. Three Sisters B started as a pool of white binder in the center of the painting. Different pigments were floated on the surface of the binder then pushed out to the edge with reactive media to form a darker ring. You can just see the outer edge of the white binder against the black panel.The panel was tipped downward allowing the binder to flow off the bottom. After drying another inner circle of binder was added with heavy pigment dispersions that reactive media had a hard time pushing to the edge creating a jagged perimeter. More media was added and the panel tipped downward with media running off the bottom. When this dried a column of clear binder with golden yellow pigment cells floating on its surface was added to surround the drips of previous sittings.
