Paint Over Collage

Paint-Over-collage-Interweave-Lesson-copy I used an Interweave Paint Over Collage Art Lesson for the basics for this piece. It was great fun to create! Really enjoyed using the Stabilo Black pencil for drawing the face and then using a brush dipped in water over the drawn lines. I like how the whole piece is created serendipitously; the underpainting, the collaging, the face; nothing is planned ahead, you just do it. I like the freedom this brings.

Life Book Week 6

Week-6-Sample-2
Week #6 was a fun project using Dylusions Spray Inks (love these!), and a profile face of Tam’s design. I also used one of Dyan Reavely’s stencils in the hair. The photo doesn’t show the true glory of these colors; they are so vibrant and rich. If you haven’t tried these sprays yet, beware that they are addicting! :) On the folded side of the page I used Philippians 4:8 “…whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, …just…pure…lovely…of good report…if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” We were supposed to have the image be thinking of our positive qualities but I feel more comfortable if my focus isn’t on me, but on the Lord and His goodness.
