February – Day 25

Day 25. 8 x 8 Mixed media on Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper. © 2018 Sheila Delgado.

Texture sheet (dots), plastic wrap, white paint pen, half moons, sea sponge application of turquoise and Kiwi, smeared thinned Lt. ivory, splatters. Ivory vase, wine /Lt. Ivory mix to contrast vase. (Yes, I know. Mauve. But mauve is so 80’s, hate to say it. ) Like how the color dries, decide to use it for the blooms. (Oh MY God.) Blooms: Layer of thin Ivory, layer of mauve quickly pulled of with paper towel. Wet centers, apply paint, hoping it will spread like day 24. It didn’t. Indigo watercolor to define.

Day 24. 5 x 7 Acrylic on canvas panel. © 2018 Sheila Delgado.

This started with the same dot pattern that was in Day 23. The “leaf” pattern was there as well, but in a soft peach color. (Scroll down to see.) I added 3 or 4 layers of very wet acrylic using a palette knife to spread the paint. There is collage, the heart shape had words, and there is a long strip on the left. Tissue top and bottom.

I kept the paint thin, to allow the previous layers to show. But somewhere a long the way, the words were lost. Interestingly, some of the polka dots, the first layer, are showing thru full color. How weird is that? The vase is Neocolor II. Thinking I might go back and “wash” some of that away, to show more of the texture.

Snowed today. Mingus disappeared. On and off for most of the afternoon. It didn’t really stick, but late tonight I noticed there was a light dusting. I think that is all we’re going to get. But my fingers are crossed for more .

Late to the Party, Day 22. 6 x 6 Mixed Media on gessoed 3/4" wood panel. © 2018 Sheila Delgado.

It’s been awhile since I painted sunflowers. I am missing them. So for today, late to the challenge, sunflowers. I have two more canvas panels started. But I am feeling like I want to do some straight watercolor. Tomorrow’s painting will be a surprise for you and I both!

For drawing three, the day was #20, and the comment from that day was #6.
