Hi there,
eP fans! It's
Broni here with you today, and I thought I'd show you how I
created my water colored Flower Maiden.
The Flower Maiden is a digital image (from A Day For Daisies) and I printed her
onto a 6 x 8 piece of
watercolor paper that had already been colored using
Distress inks. It had been in my stash for weeks, and I'd
stared at it long enough trying to decide what to do with it! I loved the soft
colors and thought it would work with her!
After I printed her, I added some
Titanium White paint mixed with some
clear gesso around her to soften the background and make her
pop a little more.
Next I painted her and added some soft blue to the background. I also added
some highlights using my
white gelly roll pen.
I used the same
white gelly roll pen and my
Studio 490 Hearts stencil to surround her with the large
heart. Then I mixed some of the
Titanium White paint with some
Glazing Acrylic Fluid Medium and began to paint from the heart
outline out towards the background, allowing the paint to fade out as I pulled.
This made the "halo" of the heart shimmery!
Next I used the same technique and drew bricks around her using the
white gelly roll pen and the
Studio
490 Brick Wall stencil. I also added a very faint pencil line
inside the heart and the bricks to make them stand out from the background more.
I added the great sentiment from a donna downey stamp set using
Memento Gray Flannel ink.
And here are a couple of close ups.
And the full painting again.
I haven't decided if I'll attach this to a canvas or not yet. Probably though.
I love it and I think I want it hanging over my desk!
Thanks so much for stopping in for a visit!
You know there's still time to join in this month's
ePlay challenge: Fall! Come play with us!
Happy crafting!
