Mixed Media Abstract Art "MM102" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art

MM102

This mixed media abstract is part of a series I'm doing with no preset expectations. I'm using paint and mixed media papers for an intuitive painting experience. This is what artists, particularly abstract artist, do when they are experimenting and letting things flow and develop on their own. Some experiments are winners, others not so much! I like this one. It's ready to frame in a standard 12x12 frame.

Mixed Media Collage Landscape, "Raleigh Tree Demo" by Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Raleigh Tree Demo" , 10x10 inches, by Carol Nelson

As often happens, this is a painting I started in a class, but didn't have time to finish.  I just finished it here in my studio after 2 months!  This is typical of the collage treescapes we do in my Abstracted Trees workshop.

What I love most about this one is the color palette.  That green gold and purple combination is gorgeous.  The tree trunks are cut out of 98 lb mixed media paper.  I find that is the perfect weight paper for this work.

Notice the color gradations in the tree trunks.  I had two puddles of paint (Golden Fluid Acrylic):  dioxazine purple (with some white,) and green gold.  When you mix these two colors together you get that beautiful brownish gold color.  I LOVE that!  It's the perfect transition between the purple bottoms and the green tops of the trunks.

Colorful Mixed Media Abstract Art Painting "Gemstone 25" by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

Mixed media abstract,  "Gemstone 25" by Carol Nelson

This is another in my Gemstone series. I did this one as a demo in my recent class at Art&Soul in Minneapolis.

What's unusual about this one is that I poured a layer of Golden's Self Leveling Clear Gel over it as a finishing coat. The Clear Gel dries crystal clear and really enhances the colors.

The finish is not as hard as a layer of resin would be, but it is a good substitute. I added a little water to the Clear Gel to thin it a little.

Mixed Media Abstract Collage, "Desert Song" by Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Desert Song" 10x8, mixed media collage by Carol Nelson

This painting is a collage featuring a variety of colorful hand painted papers and combusted foil. The colors reminded me of the desert southwest.

I have a new technique for creating collage work called "leftover . sandwiches". It involves making "sandwiches" of leftover mono print papers, textured and patterned papers arranged in a random fashion and glued together using gel medium.

Selected portions of the sandwich are then applied to a painted surface for delightful random results. For more information about this painting, please click here to go to my website.

Mixed Media Abstract Painting, "Billboard 7" by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

Mixed media abstract collage, "Billboard 7" by Carol Nelson

My billboard series consists of collage paintings having random shapes, textures, letters, numbers and patterns. I imagine tattered looking billboards that have remnants of previous postings. Just thinking of this type of random juxtaposition gives rise to all kinds of creative possibilities.

IT'S HERE!!!!! Carol Nelson's Long Awaited Instructional Video......

 I've chosen some of my favorite paintings to be made into bite-sized reproductions.
 In this collection of small canvas prints, each one arrives with its own little easel back. 

 The prints measure 6x6 or 5x7 inches, and are just perfect for adding a spot of artful color in  any nook or cranny in your home.

 Canvas Minis are made of a high-resolution canvas, mounted on a flexible black plastic  backing.  They look great without a frame, but are standard sizes if you wish to present them  with a small frame.

Mixed Media Collage, "Imagine" by Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Imagine" 10x10 mixed media collage by Carol Nelson

This piece was a demo for my recent workshop in New Braunfels, Texas. My favorite part about this painting is the turquoise.

One of the students had a bottle of Lucas Cryl Acrylic. They make a turquoise color I find irresistible. It's different from my Golden Fluid acrylics because it is very opaque. In this painting, I painted it on a piece of red rosin paper and had excellent coverage.
