For these three art cubes (9cms), I have layered and scratched through acrylic paint. I started by priming the wooden cubes, before painting them in a single colour. Once dry, a layer of gloss medium was added and allowed to dry. I then painted layers of shades and tones of the complementary colour, and its neighbours on the colour wheel, over the top. Marks were scratched using sharp instruments, creating an exciting contrast. In places the top layers of paint were softened using surgical spirit to show the underlying colour. Extra marks were added by splattering and sanding.
The cubes were varnished and waxed, so they are pleasant to handle. They can be displayed any way up and changed around for a different look...
