I'm feeling classy and elegant this week. Or at least in my choice of colors anyway. I find that a more neutral color scheme seems to fit well with more modern decor in a lot of cases, so I'm creating a swipe in cream, gold, browns and black - but I need more sparkle so let's try something new today!
I've had this iridescent medium on my shelf for about 6 months, since I picked it up thinking it was some kind of shiny white paint on my trip to the US. So when I picked out the colors for this pour and decided that the browns needed more sparkle to help them fit with the gold, it was the ideal time to test it out.

Yay, its swipe time. But this time I am being much more subtle in my swiping. Its my favorite way to create a painting and I usually go all out and swipe the entire canvas. This time I will be much more controlled and swipe only a small area against a much larger negative space background.
