Week 6 - Use Aluminum Foil in a Painting
This technique calls for aluminum foil to be glued to your paper with gel medium and salt to be sprinkled on while the gel was still wet. I started with three triangles - different sizes going up the page and put a wash of blue and red acrylic paint to create different shades, then added a mix of yellow/orange/burnt sienna to create some rust and dark tones. The photo doesn't really show any of the foil still coming through - in reality you can still see glints of the foil. Not totally happy with this piece as I don't feel like it looks "rusty" enough - would like to play around this this technique a bit more and try and rough up the foil a bit.

I like it, I don't think it has to look rusty, i think of coral when I look at your painting. I think roughing up the foil would look good, may be worth experimenting with some of the other techniques like the tissue paper and mixing them together.
