Just starting on a new canvas. Got her sketched out and lightly color blocked with PanPastels. This is an big painting for me, and I feel a little out of my safe zone. Also it is a request and a gift.....Oh the pressure! The mermaid image is based on a rubber stamp that I have, I figured it would give me a nice starting point. I plan to document the process here and see how this painting evolves. Alright everybody, hold your breath, its time to dive in!
Here are a couple of mixed media sealed with beeswax canvases I made as some birthday gifts for friends. I have neglected to post about them for over a month. The kitty canvas was for a 12 year old girl who loves cats, and the "She who would fly" canvas for her 18 year old sister. I used newsprint gift wrap (found in the dollar section at Target) for the background of the kitty canvas. It is all beeswax, with napkins, clip art from Lisa's altered art , and a bit of doily. Oh, and some cool tinsel ribbon. The "Fly" canvas started out as a mixed media piece with lots of paint and ink. I also collaged on some napkin bits, clip art from Lisa's altered art and sewing pattern tissue. The dragonfly stamp is from Stampers Anonymous Classics #1 set.
