Cascading Water 2

Cascading Water 2

Medium
Painting - Acrylic/photography
Description
I love to paint water with acrylics and the side of a credit card. It's a longer surface than a palette knife and it's great for scraping and redistributing the paint. This is one of several other water landscapes I've created using this method.

Really gorgeous work, Nancy!!! :)))f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
So happy to share this fast moving river! I can still remember painting this one, the moment when I could "see" the rapids, the small falls. All imaginary so I had full freedom!
Abstract Angel Artist Stephen K
Excellent! :))
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
So happy you found my imaginary streams. I don't get out to nature as much as I'd like....so....I get there with my art! Thanks, Stephen!

PS Now I am going to fiddle around with some old credit cards (((*:*))
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
You'll love the results... I usually add some mediums to keep the acrylics from drying too quickly...but then when semi-wet, you can use scraping and lifting. Have fun!
Zsanan Studio
I sure am feeling the "energies" of this amazing work, Nancy!! l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Many thanks, Zsanan. I taught myself this method and only much later realized that Gerhard Richter's giant squeegee delivered something similar.
Nikki Dalton
Incredible powerful beautiful work Nancy! Not enough words in the vocabulary to express the evocative amazing painting you have created! Fl!

I sold a print of this one....such a wonderful feeling to know someone is enjoying it! Thanks, Aurelio!
Laurel Adams
Well...you ladies have me thinking a credit card is for more than “retail therapy”!! What GREAT effects! Love this...
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
It takes some practice and I do lots of them at the same time and press lightly or with firm scrapes....very wet and finally as it dries. Very fun!!
Angela Davies
Wow what great effects this gives,love the movement and colors, and thanks for that tip! LF

Exquisite colour and movement, Nancy. L/F
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks so much, Sarah. I haven't painted in this style for some time. It was immensely interesting to see what I could do with a credit card and acrylics.
Hanne Lore Koehler
Fantastic painting, Nancy! Magnificent style and technique in this gorgeous cascading water composition! L/F
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I just love painting water! This was done with a credit card and acrylics mixed with a satin extender. Thanks for this lovely comment!
Karen Adams
Fantastic water abstract, Nancy....I can feel the rush, the froth and foam! . . . .vf
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Water is great to do with the side of a credit card....picking up the acrylic and moving it quickly about. Pressing down makes a different stroke etc...it's a little like finger painting.
Georgiana Romanovna
Oh my goodness this is so luscious and gorgeous, Nancy! F/L
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I was so proud when one of our FAA members purchased a print of this painting!
