A textured green and golden painting, with a hand-written base layer. I intend to draw on top– a portrait is feeling right, but I'm not sure if it will be a portrait of a person, a plant, or heck, maybe even the dog.
And a few other little items. I am playing with paper clay, as per ideas in Unfurling, A Mixed-Media Workshop with Misty Mawn: Inspiration and Techniques for Self-Expression through Art by, well, she's in the title, Misty Mawn. So far, it's fun and easy to work with, and takes paint well. We'll see what emerges from the blue dish and hearts. I also have this fantastic tea tin that stacks four little canisters one on top of another; I'd really like to re-purpose it and make into something beautiful. I'm thinking collage and paint, with some drawing and doodling all over.
So many fun beginnings! I always think this part is the hardest- playing with the push and pull! Why not play with some drawings on tracing paper and see if 1 or more of them can be combined? I LOVE tracing paper!
ReplyDeleteTracing paper is a good idea! I ended up going through photos and found one I'd been wanting to draw (portrait), so I printed and sketched it. At least there's a little more on the paper now!
