Mixed Media Abstract Painting, "Sunken Treasure" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Sunken Treasure", 30x24 mixed media by Carol Nelson

This painting has some interesting things added to it. The "treasure" is bits of gold colored metal from a necklace, and gold painted wood pieces. Considering the watery appearance of the rest of the painting, it wasn't hard to come up with a title.

I tried something different for the finish on this painting. It has Golden's Self Leveling Clear Gel in a relatively thick layer. I poured it on and spread it around with a brush. The gel "produces a smooth, even, flexible, glossy film of excellent clarity with water and UV resistance." It is very shiny, and certainly easier to work with than smelly varnish.

Mixed Media Abstract Painting, "Ticket to Ride" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Ticket to Ride" 30x40 mixed media painting by Carol Nelson

This is a remake of an older painting I never really loved, so I gave it new life. There is a lot of texture with molding paste, tyvek, and corrugated paper.

The color palette is one of my favorites: Dioxazine Purple, Quin Nickel Azo Gold, and Quin Magenta. Of course there's some other colors in there too, but those are the big three.

Abstract Mixed Media Art Painting "OPERETTA, 12017" by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

This painting gets it's name from the musical symbols printed in the piece. There are textural elements as well, such as Egyptian papyrus paper, printed papers, and strips of painted watercolor paper.

The close color harmony of the palette, primarily metallic tones of copper and bronze, with a touch of lavendar and red oxide, makes this painting soothing. The dramatic value (dark vs. light) shifts make it a dynamic piece.

Geologic Abstract Painting, Mixed Media Art "Black Gold" by Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Black Gold" 10x8 inches, by Carol Nelson

This is a demo painting I did in a recent Geologic Abstract workshop. The black section is Carbon Black acrylic paint, Micaceous Iron Oxide paint, and white.

I covered it with a layer of Liquitex Pouring Medium for a very shiny finish. I'm always excited by the juxtaposition of shiny and dull passages.

"First to Fall" 8x8 mixed media by Carol Nelson

This painting was a demo for students studying in my studio recently. It is a true example of mixed media. The leaf is made from air dry clay and then painted with metallic gold and other colors. Also in the painting are small stones, tyvek, burlap, dimensional paint squiggles, and rusted iron paint.
