Brisbane based mixed media artist Elana Mullaly creates one of her ‘Surge Series’ paintings at the Ironlak Studio in Brisbane, Australia.
Elana talks us through her creative process in using Ironlak Fluid water based acrylic paint, and how she tackles the uncertainty that comes with working with such an unpredictable medium. The high flow, low viscosity, and vibrancy of Ironlak Fluids lead Elana to wanting to paint the ocean as its unpredictable and volatile nature is much like the way the paint runs on the canvas. “Painting these oceans means that I’m at the whim of the way the water goes” says Elana.
Elana holds monthly art classes at Ironlak Brisbane where she teaches the process and application used in this video. Book your spot in her next class.
