Masking fluid lace

This series of images shows some experimentation with masking fluid.  I was trying to think of ways to create the look of a lace network within a painting without necessarily using actual lace.  The masking fluid was painted onto  unstretched canvas and when dry, rubbed back to create openings.  



 

 

 The image above shows paint applied over the masking fluid and below shows the marks left once the masking fluid was removed.  Not particularly lace like.

The piece above shows the masking fluid itself painted - this had a bit more promise.
