Hello! Today I have a mixed media painting to share with you. I got several little frame kits from a garage sale and I decided to use the wood backings as a base for the painting.
I started with gesso over the board, let it dry then added a coat of bright pink watercolor, then started applying paint in 3 colors - teal, purple and orange. I wanted to have a spot on the painting that looked like it was reflecting light so I added yellow to the mix. I applied the colors with my fingers to blend them without making mud and then would wipe them back with a baby wipe to achieve the luminous colors. Using a stencil that had radiating lines, I pounced some yellow paint through to give it more of a circular feel to the top of the painting.
I then used VersaFine Clair ink to stamp the tree and quote from Lost Coast Designs and added the tiny birds sprinkling a little bit of black embossing powder over the stamped images to create a raised surface.
This mixed media painting will be added to the Lost Coast Designs Challenge 76 Use Some Words and the Ink Art Designs May Challenge on Facebook.
