This was so fun to paint although the napkin collages didn't show up very well so I had to pop out the color with paint. I put Scripture from my old collage Bible around the sides and sat her up on some knobby legs. She is 5x5. This class is very fun and I
highly recommend it! I think I will paint another one of these because it was so much fun. That's an image transfer in the background. She's thinking about the old homestead---as I frequently do.
I also just decided that the knob feet needed a little color wash so I washed over them with the blue that is in the background. Looks better I think.
That is just beautiful!! I love her sweet expression and everything that is going on in the back- and foregrounds! Beautiful!! :) Silke
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect, Martha!!
ReplyDeleteHi I love your photos of the artwork! How did you get it to look like clip art?
ReplyDeleteI love that-looks really nice. Love all the layers and colors. That class sounds interesting. Is is all painting faces, or is it more collage technique?
ReplyDeleteYeah-how did you get your picture of your art that way??? That looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteMartha you are going to be ready for your own gallery showing soon. Hugs
