J'ai essayé l'acrylique il y a très longtemps et j'ai toujours préféré l'huile, sa texture, son onctuosité, sa lumière. Et le fait que l'huile prenne plusieurs jours à sécher m'oblige, petite nerveuse impatiente que je suis, à réfléchir, à prendre du recul entre diverses séances de travail.
Mon atelier étant un chantier rebutant ces temps-ci - dégâts d'eau - et ma situation financière un peu catastrophique, j'ai décidé de tenter à nouveau l'acrylique, moins dispendieuse.
Le choc!
J'ai l'habitude de mélanger mes couleurs directement sur la toile, les laisser s'accorder ou non, mais là, peine ai-je appliqué les premières couches du fond que c'est déjà sec!
Je dois donc entièrement modifier mon approche, ma technique, mon processus créatif.
J'ai mis quelques jours à apprivoiser ce médium et... Voilà!
La glace noire est une forme particulière de verglas et le terme est surtout utilisé au Québec dans le contexte de la circulation routière dangereuse. Il décrit la couleur sombre de la chaussée glacée, ce qui la rend difficile à détecter et peut causer des chutes ou des accidents automobiles.
