Earlier in the week I finally got back on the painting horse and did two more projector paintings, but I used a slightly different method this time. For one, I got a low-definition digital projector for Christmas that allows for a slightly brighter and clearer projection. Secondly, instead of projecting on a sheet of paper that I primed with a dark shadow mix, I primed each canvas with a very light shade of the pigment I was to paint the picture in. Then as I projected the image, I used the chosen pigment to establish the darks and thinned the paint out with water for the lighter values.
The first of these new projector paintings was of Antelope Canyon and I used Dioxazine Purple to create the work. As with my previous slot canyon projection of Spooky Gulch, this work appears rather abstract to those not familiar with slot canyon formations, and to those who are, it can still yield a number of interesting interpretations.
