I am challenging myself to work on my art every day and create a minimum of 2 finished pieces each week. My intention is to explore ideas and techniques and push myself beyond my comfort zone. I will be working in a series with several different images. My interests at this time are drawing, line, texture and color. I will be posting exercises and challenges for myself and any others who wish to join in the Creativity Journey.

BUILDING UP LAYER BY LAYER
This layer is collage, acrylic ink drawing and sponge roller painting. Still not satisfying.
I added more collage papers including some gesso texture on waxed paper. I was never sure if I could successfully collage waxed paper but it seems to work out okay. Looking better. I think a layer of tan tissue I collected for a dress shop might unify the image, but first I need to get my drawing back.
I added more ink drawing done with a balsa wood stick. Tomorrow, after tissue paper, I will add some acrylic using my fingers. Bought some thin latex type gloves so my hands won't be a disaster. Finger painting will be lots of fun!
I'm liking the way this is coming together :) Thanks for sharing your steps as you move along.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteIt is challenging not to use a traditional brush. The temptation is very large but so far I have resisted. Today I will "finger paint"! Stay tuned!
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Regine. Lots of work yet to be done before it is finished.
