I spent most of today with my sister, Heather,
visiting our mum and having a spot of lunch together. I also borrowed
Heather's camera so I could grab a couple of photos of some things I've
been working on this week.
The completed piece is an 8" x 8" canvas
which I created using DecoArt products...Media Misters spritzed over the
gessoed and crackle pasted canvas and Media Fluid Acrylics used to add
patterns and to paint the Angel. I used Glamour Dust on the wings...has
to be done!
The second photo shows a 7"
x 5" canvas which I'm still working on. As you can see, I've drawn and
cut out the figures and am in the process of painting them.
What I do is
to draw around the cut shape onto the canvas so that I can leave that
area relatively free from texture. Once the canvas and the figures are
painted I apply the cut out to the relevent space and add some shading
around it to make it look part of the canvas. A couple of coats of
DecoArt varnish (which finish I use depends on the look I want) seals
everything nicely.
Two posts in one day....think I need a lie down now!
Thank you for sharing what you have been working on recently Lindsay. Good to see your work and also work in progress, all looking super as always xx
