Cindy Aune Reworks Painting

December 5, 2020

Cindy Aune reworks a painting with her hands in this video and explains technique as an artist on how to transition the art to a final stage.

In this video I wanted to show you what I have to do when I rework a canvas. This painting I thought was ok and as time has progressed I thought it was not one of my best ones. So I’ll come back in and I can paint on top of it because it’s sealed with a polyacrylic sealer. Sometimes I completely paint over them and sometimes I just touch them up. I’m not really sure which way it will go but I give it a shot and see if I can make it a little bit better.

I love the green tones that are in the painting and I use it a lot. But I’m beginning to realize it’s not one of the best colors for a face because it kind makes it look sick. And I don’t talk and paint very well.

The gears onto the background were spray painted on and I got a little heavy with it so I try to back some of that out. It’s really easy to put too much and overwork a canvas. And the way that I paint, once it’s overworked there’s no bringing it back. When I put too much paint on I take a rag and pull some of it back off. It’s not a magic rag, it’s just an old t-shirt. I tend to use whatever I have around instead of buying more.

I forgot to put the crease in the face and it leaves them really flat. It makes the lips look like they were stuck on with glue. Haven’t been painting much because of the pandemic and I’ve got so much work just laying around it’s kind of depressing. It takes a little bit to get back into practice.

I don’t worry much about making mistakes. I used to but now I just paint and if I make a mistake I’ll fix it later. Or I’ll decide it’s not a mistake. Sometimes I think later it looks pretty good. I always try to tell people before you complete your work, live with for a couple of days and see if it really needs to fixed. Or maybe you just made a Bob Ross “happy accident.”

Small floral in 11"x14" white mat. I usually paint large scale. I do paper pieces in a small scale for practice. The limited tones of this piece makes it easy to live with. #cindyaune.com#cindyauneart#thecarongallery
One of my sons had very little floral knowledge, but he knew daisy, tulip, and roses. This is the perfect bright spot for your home. 12"x12" acrylic mixed media, #cindyaune.com#cindyauneart
I think the texture of this piece makes the line edges look fuzzy. I cannot repeat the look. I have tried. 24"x24" acrylic mixed media

I like to figure out what makes a piece interesting. It's the plum tone in this one. Plum easily turns muddy. It's not in this piece. 12"x12"  #cindyauneart #thecarongallery #cindyaune.com
