Joy of Art – Magenta DT Post

With the holiday season fast approaching, I start to stress about all the details and deadlines that are looming. Today, I was reminded of the philosophy of a dear friend, “May you die young at a very old age”, which she accomplished at 96 years. I thought back to my youth and how much I loved to finger paint and began to play!

Magenta Post 11-21

First, I applied gesso to four small 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ canvases. I, then, added acrylic paint with my fingers.

Next, I used several stencils and colors of acrylic paints to add layers. Be sure to dry between layers.

I also added some stamping.

Then, I used the flower mask and applied purple acrylic paint to all surfaces not protected by the mask.

I outlined the masked area with white pen, then stamped and embossed the sentiment.

These could be a gift for someone special. One item checked off the list!

My Little Chickadee – Magenta DT Post

Our constant backyard companion, with his cheerful call, has been letting me know it’s almost time to put the winter feeders out.

Chickadee

This is a 4″ x 6″ journal page on watercolor paper.  I used Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade to color the background, spritzed it with water and dabbed off the excess water with a paper towel. I stamped the Bird on Branch with black Archival Ink. I applied Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink to the Vine stamp and stamped in several areas. I stamped the Bird on Branch a second time onto another piece of watercolor paper, fussy cut the bird portion, and glued it to the page.  I used Prismacolor watercolor pencils to color the branch and bird and highlighted with black and white pens. I added a shadow line around the bird with a Stabilo All pencil and waterbrush. Finally, I edged the page with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

Sunset Silhouette – Magenta DT Post

I love a good sunset, even though it comes so early these days!

Sunset Silhouette

I sprinkled Nuance powders from light to dark in ombre fashion onto a 5″ x 7″ sheet of glossy photo paper, then spritzed it with water.

I then applied black acrylic paint through the flower stencil with a foam applicator.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and added white paint splatters to the upper portion of the sky and outlined the edges of the paper with permanent marker.
