Bit of color from the studio. I’ve been combining stains, monotype and brushwork which I’ve been missing. … Acrylic on raw 36 x 48” canvas. … #monotype #abstractartist #contemporaryartists #linen #markmaking #worksonpaper #abstractexpressionism #midcenturymodern #workinprogress #abstractpainting #melissamcgillart #abstractart #rawcanvas #stainpainting #artcollectors #moderndecor #artconsultant #artadvisor #saatchiart #modernabstract #contemporaryabstract https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqlnl0Sv8d6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stain painting and monotype on dyed linen. This fabric is a bit more fragile than the linen and canvas I normally use so it forces my work in a bit of a different direction, I can’t scrape and tug at the fabric as much and the paint moves around more than I’m used to. But I love the underpainting quality of the color of the linen so I move in the direction the surface provides. … Also, does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop all the requests to post on random unrelated pages in your comments? I was deleting them but it doesn’t seem to stop them from coming.

Two more Rainshadow monotypes hanging out together. I’ve been going back and forth between monotypes and watercolor for a few weeks now. I’m unable to travel for a while yet so I created kind of an in home studio residency/workshop for myself. I took a few weeks off from commissions and my regular studio practice to do this work and I’m curious to see what it brings to my practice. … #monotype #abstractartist #contemporaryartists #linen #markmaking #worksonpaper #abstractexpressionism #midcenturymodern #workinprogress #abstractpainting #melissamcgillart #abstractart #rawcanvas #stainpainting #artcollectors #moderndecor #artconsultant #artadvisor #saatchiart #modernabstract #contemporaryabstract (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqA-eC2rGJJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
