Graffiti-Town

I love to travel but i don't like to be away from home so here is a riddle for you that I just made up: How can you travel and still sleep in your own bed? You travel the art world that's how!! And the way I do that is through all the wonderful blogs and online classes from fabulous people that makes it possible to journey and explore new art techniques. As you see here I am traveling through Graffiti town right now and loving creating these fun and free pieces on scrap paper and cardboard. One is the top of a pizza box from our dinner the other night. I think the reason I love to explore all different kinds of techniques is just to find new ways to use color and paint. AND this is probably one of the most fun ways. This is from Alisa Burke online class "Graffiti Chic."
I'm not sure how long I will camp in this town but for now---it's way fun!

Still Layer Lovin

I still enjoy putting acrylic paint on canvas in the layer style of the Layer love class that I took---and actually I still have one more class to do.  I decided to try and use the unopened Chart pack vinyl letters from deep in the stash and since they are somewhat adhesive on the back they stuck on in order to stencil around them. So, these Chart Pack letters have some potential.  I don't know what I would ever do with these layered pieces but for now they are fun to make. It's always therapeutic layering paint onto a canvas. This one is 12 x 12. Maybe one day I will venture out and try to use some other colors rather than Quin Nickel Azo gold colors---and the blues and greens.  I guess they are my comfort colors. Have a great day.  I am going to watch "the Memorial Service".
