Well I was finally able to carve a little creative time into my schedule this
weekend- OK not really, but I did it anyways!
The weather around here this week has been chilly (mornings in the 30's) so I was inspired
to make this winter painting. Of course today it was 87! But that's Texas! She is one of four weather girls collection I have created. Here are some pictures in progress...
Drawing on Roc Lon drop cloth, I used gesso for a textured foundation.
Adding color with Gelatos, water and a paint brush- sometimes a little more gesso.
For small spaces, like eyes I like to use PITT Artist Pens and Aquarelles.
I really loved the stark white contrast background so I decided to stay with it.
After she was finished I went and added a bit of blue on the top for the sky,
modeling paste for the snow trees background and Snow Tex for her faux fur hat!
*tip- for small specs of snow use the bacl of a paint brush or sharp white pencil dipped
in gesso to make small random dots. This is also great for eyes.
So how about you? Did you get any creative time for yourself this weekend?
and they have some prizes to give away on this weeks blog hop so you will want to check it out!
I to play with the new Chris Cozen Stencils at Artistcellar!
I was just checking out the stencils at first, using Distress Inks. I put layer upon layer of the same color; lighty tapping on the color on the first layer, switching up and moving the stencils, then really loading up the sponge, using more ink as I overlapped the following layers. I was just playing, it was not my original intention to make anything but I thought it made for a great background, so I decided to work with it - I drew a girl...
A little gesso...
Some Gelato and PITT artist pen work and blending...
A chipboard title...
Eyelashes and more pods (with modeling paste this time.)
The finished project!
Just a lot of fun! I hope this inspires you to go do some Mixed media this weekend!
