Paper, matte medium, board. Paint, grass, stems, sky, flowers. Details, pen, puffy paint, watercolor crayon, more paint.
I was not planning for them to be hung side by side. I did not plan ahead. Haha. The grass and stems are crinkled paper, I added dry watercolor crayon to add interest there.
I went too dark with the teal, a new brand of paint for me. When it dried I sanded some of it off. The lettering was still hidden, so I used a pen to accent it. I decided to do the orange flowers as well, even though it was showing through a bit better. The white centers and some of the black dots are puffy paint.
I am calling them done for now. I need to move on. But they look too flat to me. I should add some texture or smudging to the sky. And a few leaves would help as well. There is a texture from previous layers, these are recycled boards. Thought about adding puffy swirls to the sky, haha. Not quite sure I could pull it off. Stressed big time over the teeny tiny birds. Hahaha. Open to suggestions. 🙂
How fun these are! I couldn’t help but picture the ‘grass’ as a fence with flowers on opposite sides popping up to have a chat with each other. You are always thinking and changing it up – nice work Sheila!
Haha! I love that Nelvia! Thank you for visiting the blog 🙂
Sheila, don’t ever put down your crayons!
I like the hints of dimensional texture in the sky; their subtle presence—is that the wood making itself known? These three make a playful happy trio, with horizon lines that very appealingly don’t align. Wonky wonders : )
There were old layers underneath Dotty. Some slightly crinkled. A little wonky is always good 🙂 Haha.
You constantly surprise me. You changed it up again…and brilliantly! Love the trio and they are perfect together. Unique, colourful, joyful!
Haha, thank you Laurelle. 🙂 You will be seeing these again soon. Have fun today! I know it will be awe-inspiring! 🙂
I love that quote! And I’m in a mixed media “society” but have no idea what I’m doing!
You definitely know what YOU are doing, Sheila🦋
Haha! Thank you, Kat. 🙂 Oh, you know what you are doing… ;o)
I like that you try different mediums, it’s what the challenge is for! Looks great Sheila ❤️
Thank you Cindy. 🙂 I am having fun 🙂
