WIP. 6 x 6 acrylic and watercolor on paper. 2017 Sheila Delgado

WOW! I knew it had been awhile since my last post. Had no idea it had been this long. Hi!

I have kept up with all of you on Instagram. Really liking that platform. So much fabulous art and scenery!! I have posted some things on there that I forgot to post here.

Well, I thought I had posted the first layers of this. But nope. I started with layers of acrylic, rolled on with a brayer. White, rust, and a soft, warm pink (skin tone).  Tonight I added layers of watercolor pencil, Inktense.  And Neocolor II crayon. I felt like scribbling. Inspired by Dotty Seiter, Simone Nijbour, and Carol Edan. I am still catching up with Pauline Agnew’s Ecourse, her influence is here as well. So grateful she offered this with an extended access time. Grateful to all of these amazing women for their creative fearlessness!

These layers were added quickly and without a plan. Just play really. Mindless, in the moment mark making. I loved the marks dry. But I am a watercolor gal. So I added water with a brush.

Yeah, that’s it. Messy goodness. This is on inexpensive paper, and I usually hate the line pattern. But I am really liking it here.

Not done yet, but it may have to sit and marinate.
