Mixed Media on Canvas - Paint on Waxed Paper

A new mixed media piece done on a 8x10 canvas.  This piece was inspired by yet another online class I'm taking with Junelle Jacobsen. 



Close up of my new piece



Acrylic paint in varying shade were painted on wax paper

Wax paper was then cut into flower petal shapes (and leaves, not shown)



Corrugated paper was cut into vase-type shapes



Vase shapes were adhered with glue; flower petals and leaves adhered with gel medium;
vases painted with blue acrylic paint

 

Close up of a flower - this was stamped with word text, button glued to the middle,
black pen lined the petals and leaves for dimension with white paint pen added for highlight



Final piece - No title yet

Hope everyone had a lovely November (while I was busy with teenagers and chaos)!
Check back for tomorrow.  Hugs,  Erin

TGIF - Falll Watercolor Postcards

I'm participating in an art swap with a group of ladies that have taken or are taking "The Art of Wild Abandonment" class by Junelle Jacobsen and Christy Tomlinson. LOVE THIS CLASS!!

The second postcard below is the one I sent off to a lovely woman in N. Carolina. The other cards were created just because I wanted to.  I still need to watercolor the last one. It was fun to work in a small size, 3.5x5 inches, which is much smaller than I'm used to.

I hope you are enjoying your week and the upcoming weekend!

Art Journal Watercolor - The Pantry

I am currently taking the online art class, "The Art of Wild Abandonment" with Christy Tomlinson and Junelle Jacobsen.  It is fabulous and Junelle does lots of sketching prior to working in her art journal or on canvas, etc.  I have been happily sketching lots of things and having so much fun.  I was inspired to sketch and then watercolor this detailed image of a kitchen pantry.

I hope you are spending some time creating.  It is a great "down-time" activity and something that is just for me.  I love to sketch in the evening after dinner while the kids do homework.

Happy Wednesday!

Hugs, Erin

Mixed Media on Canvas Panel - Art Table

My newest mixed media piece on a 6 x 8 canvas board.

This piece was inspired by my newest art class

"The Art of Wild Abandonment I"

by Junelle Jacobsen and Christy Tomlinson.

Here's the link if you are interested, AWESOME CLASS!!

I'm only at the end of week one with two more weeks to go.

Painted with an acrylic paints on the background. 

Molding paste was colored with acrylic paint and

then placed thru an awesome alphabet template.

The girl, art table, table accessories and books/journals

 were all created with paper pieces cut by hand and then painted. 

A close-up of the table top after the small pieces were painted

and glued down with gel medium.

And a close-up of the girl's skirt, after some pen doodling...

And a close up of the desk top....

This was so much fun.

Happy Friday Friends!!  Enjoy your weekend.

Hugs,  Erin
