It's all about the paint

SOC Week 5:  green + green + pink


Okay, so you are looking at this thinking there's too much pink, where's the green?  I thought it was pink + pink + green!  Will have to do a do over but for now here's what I created:
I love the bright colors with this stencil.  Reminds me of the psychedelics of the 60's or something from the show Laugh-In.



Colors used:
Americana Neon in sizzling pink
Apple Barrel in kiwi
Tim Holtz Distress Ink in picked raspberry














Get up.  Get dressed. Paint.


I went back to January 20th for this week’s painting with Rae Missigman’s 15 Minutes of Mixed Media.
It was a fun lesson because she had a video camera glitch so the video went from her drawing the initial design to the end showing her painting in the last few details.  I was all on my own figuring out how she put it all together.  Challenging but a fun page to paint!

After it dried I looked at it and it needed something.  Using my creative license I got out my gel pens and white uni-ball and had fun adding on some doodles.  




What I learned


Ø  How to put together a page using paint with paint pens and sharpies.
Ø  While I can figure out what she did, I find it easier now to do it my way with the supplies I have and come out with similar results.  I am gaining some confidence.

How did you use your creative license this week?
