Bricks - in progress

I have finally started applying paint to my 24" x 36" canvas. First I started by painting the sides of the canvas black.


On the front of the canvas, I sketched out a rough design of the way I wanted the "bricks" to be layed out. Next I painted black around the "bricks" with a basic acrylic paint.

After it was dry, I then added color to the top three "bricks". I had white paint in one part of the palette and green in another part. I dipped my paint brush in one color, then the other, before putting it on the canvas. With some of the paint mixing at different levels and some not mixing at all, it gave me several shades from white to green.

I plan on using the same method for the rest of the bricks, but with different colors. Hopefully I can get to it soon, depending on what hapens with the current hurricane (Rita) path and my work schedule because of the hurricane.

I can't wait to see the finished product. You guys stay safe and don't over work! Well, you probably don't have a choice but I can dream, right? :-)
