| "Bark 'n' Bite" 8x8" acrylic on wood (C) Cara Bevan 2009 |
| This painting, called “Bark and Bite” was supposed to be done later, while I was doing the complicated architectural piece "One Way", but I couldn’t wait. I experimented with speckling, a technique where paint is dripped or slung onto the artwork with a stiff paintbrush or toothbrush. After I painted a base color, I used a toothbrush to splatter five layers of colors onto the artwork. This created an interesting pitted texture, perfect for tree bark. I added defining shadows and highlights to complete the artwork in two hours. Look closely and you’ll see why I called it “Bark and Bite.” |
