Reworking a Rejected Painting
This horse is my latest monotype experiment, done on a rejected painting that I used as an abstract underpainting, after spraying with Kamar retouch varnish.
I began with a drawing on a piece of palette paper and painted with oil. After transferring the image, I then worked it with palette knife. I'm much happier with the horse than I was with the previous image, but the jelly fish (!!) made a great abstract underpainting, with the tentacles becoming the horse's mane.
