Artist
Regina Valluzzi
Medium
Painting - Acrylic With Mica On Panel
Description
Surf study uses mixed media and novel applications of conventional acrylic painting media to "reinvent" the structure of a common landscape painting theme. Seascapes are a popular painting subject. A talented conventional landscape (or seascape) painter will pay great attention to laying out and painting in the color subtleties and patterns of surf. Surf study approximates those same painted patterns using transparent layers of poured and swirled media over layers of clear reflective mica. The mica creates a frothy lamellar texture, while also reflecting the light through the transparent paint film in unexpected refractory patterns. The swirled transparent media have embedded color patterns arising from fluid dynamic effects within the paint that closely mimic the fluidity and movement of water. Overall Surf Study creates an intensely tactile "present" impression, with a paint film that uses the same play of light as roiling water to create an immediacy for the viewer. And it's pretty inexpensive too.

This piece is fantastic. I love the look of encaustic, but for all the reasons you just said...I doubt I will ever work with it or buy a piece of it. I have mica flakes...but they are very small and delicate, I find them hard to work with but maybe I haven't found the right way to do it yet. It adds wonderful dimension to your piece. =)

I've been buying big bags of the extra large flaked mica. It's not as fragile as it seems - most of the flakes will bend before breaking
