"Deep Entanglement” is an acrylic, size 11" x 14” image. I think of it as the thick brush below your feet when you take a walk in the woods. I did the design sketch for this many years ago, while I taught at Kanuga Workshops. I had never brought it to completion as a painting till now. If interested in this painting, go to my website, karenknutson.com
Tip #8: To soften edges where there is strong contrast, I paint with a stick that is dipped in black paint. (The best sticks are oak trees from MN. Haha) I tap the end of the stick in the liquid acrylic paint to load up it’s end, then I tap most of it off on a paper towel. Then it is ready for you to make linework on your painting that is more sketchy and subtle. Here is a close up of the line made with a stick.
