experiment: antique papyrus, 23.5 K Gold keaf, Roetel (red bole) black iron oxide and titanium white ink first step of experimental painting The antique papyrus is made by leaving the papyrus stripes in water for a few days, until fermentation starts (smells a bit rotten). No chemicals added. A brown color is the result. Looks almost like wood. I glued it to a canvas to prevent buckling. #experiment #papyruspainting #antiquepapyrus #paintinginprogress #abstractexperiment #goldleaf #blattgold #redbole #roetel #kremerpigmente https://www.instagram.com/p/CUOM37LtD_q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Abstract Experiment

Painting/editing by Melanie Uadjit

first tests of painting on real papyrus. This is not a finished psinting, I was just trying out stuff. Reed pen, glass dip pen, fountain.pen, watercolors, acrylic pigment inks.. I like it. The colors stay very vibrant, they are not sucked into the "paper", it dries fast and doesn't wrinkle too much. Maybe I put a priming layer of white pigmrent with casein binder on one of of the next sheets. I think it could be used for fast abstract stuff. For that I think it might have advantages over modern paper. For more detailed painting with more layers the modern paper might be better. But painting on this material is fun. #papyrus #papyruspainting #abstractexperiments #abstractpainting #ancientmaterial https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2nKusn7kD/?igshid=1wu6h4p350dqm

"abstract night" new mefhod seems to work. Painting on black primed paper. The primer was made from coarse ground slate, black acrylic color, black iron oxide powder, milk and India ink. The surface can be painted with watercolors, inks, gouache, actylics andxwith the primer itself. Use of pens is also possible, and structures can be applied, for example with plastic wrap or a painting knife. #abstractexperiments #watercolorjourney #texturedpainting #goldochre #handmadewatercolors #sofodor #abstractpainting #abstractmixedmedia #gouache #abstractgouache #ink #abstractink https://www.instagram.com/p/B4g4QGHoOfd/?igshid=aje5gugbdzwh

yarn painting experiment finished and new painting in progress. I tried a few things with the yarn painting. I used small glass balls and coarse ground Copal resin. I probably won't use the methods again soon. Maybe I will use the yarn painting for the background of a glass painting in future, but now I want to test out the possibilities of painting on black primed paper. I used coarse ground slate, black acrylic paint, India ink, milk and black Iron oxide for the background. Goal was to produce a syructured surface capable of ansorbing watery paint relatively fast, but not too fast. #abstractexperiments #abstractpainting #paintinginprogress #yarnpainting #watercolorjourney #inks #pigments #watercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/B4eRdxCI5l4/?igshid=n1g2gbrrix7z

experimenting with structures again. I made a thick structure paint from acrylic titanium white, ground Carrara marble and powdered white chalk. One paper surface I let dry after I strucured the white mass with a plastic bag, brushes and a painting knife. onto the other paper I threw huge amounts of the white mass and dripoed inks onto it while it was still wet. everything has to dry for at least one day, before I can go on painting the two different surfaces. #paintingexperiment #inks #watercolorjourney #acrylicsandwatercolors #abstractexperiments https://www.instagram.com/p/B4OqSzkIrnE/?igshid=1i47f4c3d5030
