Layers

This was built a layer at a time. I used stencils, pattern sheets, and thought more about how I applied the paint. I spent a good chunk of time, enjoyed the process and I am happy with the result.
I have been so inspired by texture, and the many ways artists have found to create it. This might look very much like other paintings I have done. I might be fooling myself. But it feels different to me.
I really love the table. I forced myself to scrub into and remove some of the indigo. Sacrilege to this indigo lover. The lavender spots on top were not visible until they dried. I thought, “O.K., that was a fail, but no one will see it.” They appeared a minute later like magic.
The original painting is below. I didn’t notice until I saw it on the monitor, my arrangement was top-heavy. So I Photoshopped some of that weight off. (Yeah, you’re right, I made that side to straight up and down.)

Liberate Your Art 2017
LYA 2017 envelope. watercolor. SMD
It’s LYA time again. I always look forward to Kat Sloma’s postcard exchange. This will be the seventh year I have taken part. You can find out more and see the cards I sent out in earlier swaps by clicking on the link in the sidebar. There are also links to Kat’s showcase videos if you need a jolt of artistic inspiration.
This year I took a regular manilla envelope added a layer of gesso, and then watercolor. A quick bit of fun. The envelope is sort of a gift for Kat. For all the hard work she puts in to the event. She posts some of them on her blog, so we can all see the fabulous artwork. I don’t remember who started it, but now it is a swap tradition. Postcards are ordered and on the way. Can’t wait to see them!
