Day 30

Well I had grand ideas, for a grand finale and what I got instead was an epic fail. So at 11:58 pm, I started over again. Almost botched this one as well. Whew!

Day 30 Epic fail. 9 x 9 in. mixed media on paper.

Hours on my first attempt. Layers of texture, palette knife. Painted flowers. Not great. Layered more color on the background and foreground. Not better. Painted the vase. O.K., that looks really cool.

I put crackle over the petals. Waited. Very few cracks. Added a second layer, knowing full well it would not work. And it didn’t. Cracks developed in just a few areas. I rubbed on dark rust, cracks barely visible. Tried again with indigo. You can see the cracks, but now the flowers look dirty.

The scan is even worse than the original. Don’t know why but the right side looks much darker than it actually is. Tomorrow will be better!

Today I will choose a bookmark to submit to UPPERCASE. Which do you like best?

Below are the four I painted earlier. I am partial to the one on the left, 1st of four. I also like the two from today.

We made it! Only one more painting left. High five everybody!

This might just be the one.

Had another long day. On the road for most of it. But it was a great one. Anxious to catch up on what everyone created today. Didn’t start painting until 10:30 pm.

Really happy with how this quickie turned out. I used my Water Brush again, fun! The measurements are off a bit for the bookmark. But I think it still works when cropped. I cropped it in Photoshop, so the original is intact. 11:55 pm.
