A Year of Abstract Exercises - Free Shapes

 One nice thing this book of exercises does is provide suggestions for variations.  This time, I used both black and white oil pastel crayons to make marks on the page before adding the fluid acrylics. 

Below, the finished piece. 

For those who missed it, I am doing a year long / weekly artistic discipline for 2015 - following each of the exercises (one per week) presented in the book Painting Abstracts by Rolina van Vliet.  

Each weekend I am posting the week's project on my blog.
