Loved the bunny illustration so much I made an inspirational/motivating bunny for a friend.
The fun is just getting messy and adding layers upon layers of various media.
Here is the process in pictures:
The start of the background (above). Making painted tissue (below)
Then I started covering up the bacground with the bunny and various doodles.
I added the flowers and other elements. For some reason I have moved a small amount of supplies from my art room into my living room and tend to do more art work there. I guess it's just more open or feels brighter for the moment. If you ever come to my house, there are art supplies scattered throughout , tastefully of course, for whenever the artistic flair hits me (journals, pens, colors, paints, etc.art books) Most major supplies and utensils are located in the art room upstairs.
I just love it.. .. anyways, back to the art...
I think a big new LOVE for this project was the use of painted tissue paper & sculpting images in wet paint with the end of the paintbrush. As you can see the small bunny faces, pie charts, words, and flowers were done using this technique.
And the finish product.
DID IT GET YOU TO MOVE? FEEL HOPE? DREAM?
I hope so :)
Hi Ali--
ReplyDeleteI used to sit by you sometimes at Donna's classes.
My name is Alicia. I no longer live in Charlotte at the moment, had to move across country to UT for the time being, but just wanted to say hello.
I found your blog somehow, someday and now am a follower.
LOVE this painting. One of your best yet, very balanced and great color combinations.
Thanks for sharing your work. Might be a baby step help towards getting me to start sharing mine.
Are you loving the Mindy class?
I have been very tempted to take one of her online classes but wasn't sure if it was right for me.
Any thoughts?
Alicia
I hope you're enjoying Utah. Some great scenery there. I went for vacation one summer. Hot but beautiful.
DeleteI am loving Mindy's class as it is one project once a month. Feasible to do. And the price spread out is what I can afford. Plus it has gotten me painting again. And I am not much a fan of painting faces so the detail of the faces is as much as you want to make it.
It's all a matter of what you want to learn. Most images posted can give you an idea Hope that helps. And I am so bad with names ...I'm sure if I saw you I'd remember you from class.
And girl!!! Post that art. You are your own toughest critic.
