Sweet Scripting

Scripture in progress #2, acrilic on 12 x 12 gallery wrapped canvas, sheiladelgado.com

I managed to finish the small script letters. They were easier than I anticipated, and I am pleased as punch that some of my strokes were spot on perfect. Shazam!

The larger type styles turned out to be more difficult. More stokes involved, and more chances to goof. I think a light color on the type would look more fresh. But that would also have required a dark outline to make it pop. On 39 words, that seemed daunting!

There are a few areas where the letters and the background are close in value. I can remedy that when I fine-tune my mistakes.

What is better than a sweet treat while working? And of course it has to be GREEN! One of my favorites. A rare indulgence. Kiwi Gummy Candy by Kasugai. Sublime!

Have a fabulous Friday!

I added the green after doing the bud. I should have created a multi-toned background first, and then painted over it. That would have added some depth. An additional color within the bud would have added depth as well. There are thick strokes in this, texture that didn’t transfer in the scan. Just a bit of play really, and it is fun in the frame. Hmm, maybe I will paint the frame green too.

Trio. 3 x 3 Alcohol ink on canvas. © 2015 Sheila Delgado

Painting last night led only to complete disaster. I have three alcohol ink, and two acrylic pieces of yuck as proof. Oh well…

Today I started watching videos on working with alcohol ink. And after a couple of hours… finally I created something that I don’t have to be embarrassed about showing.

This was created on canvas. Wait, canvas? With alcohol ink? I saw a video where ink was used over a gesso base. I have two of these tiny canvases, and I thought, what could it hurt?

Here it is in the teeny-tiny fame that came with it. Too cute right? Whew, that is all I have to say. Now I can catch up on visiting the other artists blogs!
