This was a fun one, and I'm glad I decided to take photos of the process....
Started out with a 12 x 18 birch cradle board--
Lots of paint, then spritzed with water and blotted up for making that depth and texture
......more paint, and then I got out my corrugated cardboard and Catalyst texture tool
for some mark-making
....and this is when I get lost in the process with stencils, more paint, stamps, more stencils, etc., etc.--and also using that extra paint to make some papers for future collage
loving those layers.....
....drawing in my composition--looking like a hot mess right now.....
time to cover up some of that busy background--
..with some elephant love...
in the sunshine.....
This is a great way to warm up and play with paint, and not worry about the outcome, because after all, it's just paint, and you can always cover it up.....or not.....
And for all of you in the U.S.--hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
