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.

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!

This is alcohol inks, watercolor, and acrylic on canvas. I love the messiness. It started with just two big blobs, I had to carve out the shapes a bit, but they were all there. That is why the top “flower” doesn’t really match the others. I liked that shape, so I left it alone. I am debating taking out the leaf veins, I really like how they look in the first slide.

I have worked on this since before the challenge started. Thought I’d get a day or two ahead. HA! I think it might still need some more work. I am going to let it sit for a few days.

Prizes for the most active artist, AND the most active voter. You can vote for three artists each day. That includes me, of course.

I just now noticed how strong the texture from the canvas is in these slides. It is not distracting in person.
