Planning film, the stuff architects used to use (when architects still hand drew plans), translucent , frosted, plasticy paper that came in rolls.Whatevere the name, I like it! I want some rolls of it. It was a constant in my childhood as my father is just that kind of architect. On a recent trip home I was gifted some off the smaller pieces and brought them home with me. I have wanted to paint on them ever since I realised that one COULD paint on it. It apparels to my need to paint on smooth surfaces. I am eyeing out aluminium as we speak, but that's another story.......
I need a smooth surface because I push paint around on the surface...quite a lot. I smear and pull and use those marks to , well, create other marks and under marks and all sorts of effects to get the painting to where I want it to be. I am not a "places paint down in precise manner" kinda painter. I am a "lets see where this takes me" kinda painter. Exciting!
Anyways, I decided to use it and see what I could achieve. Here are the results:
 |
| Tidal pool surge |
 |
| the large painting |
 |
| detail from large painting |

| detail from large painting |

So now I am trawling the internet looking for rolls of this stuff. Wish me luck.
