Playing with Paint

Barb and I played yesterday making some canvas's... they are canvas flat panel boards....  have come to the conclusion I prefer the watercolour paper as even after you prep the W/C paper with gesso acyrlic still behaves different and (IMHO) better on it to the canvas....I made two.. one to keep and one to give Barb.

Backgrounds are several coats of paint and a mix of CC technique, stencilling with sequin waste, stamping with paint and some collaged papers.

Figures are free drawn and painted with acrylics before being shaded with NeoColor watercolour crayons.. detail on the skirt and pockets were added with collage paper

First one is the one I gave to Barb.... second is the one I am keeping ...

Will be heading back home on Monday... have Maggie booked into the vets for Tueday to be desexed... what a way for her to end her holiday LOL

NINE WEEKS TILL THE RETREAT!!! WHOOOHOOOO
