let it snow, let it snow! Well here she is... my little snow queen! I have a sort of love hate relationship with a lot of my art. First I love it. Then I get real critical and I hate it! Then again I look and I start to think I like it! Why is that?
I experimented for the first time with molding paste, oooh what fun! I really like this, can't wait to use it again! I also learned a valuable lesson. As money is a little tight right now and I'm not planning on selling my art work (it's purely for my pleasure) I purchased lots of little boards quite cheaply so that I could play to my hearts content. The lesson is - cheaper boards and canvases are ok -ish providing you Gesso them! This one I didn't because I was being impatient - what a difference! I was also keen to try out my new breyer but I wanted definite snowflakes and wasn't confident I would get that so I used scrunched up paper dipped in paint! The lettering proved a little difficult and isn't as crisp as I would have liked. I find it hard to 'write' with a brush, but I wanted white lettering in this particular font. Any suggestions anyone? I find pens easier, can anyone recommend a white pen?
Anyway in the end I started to like her so much I framed her and put her on the wall!
Hi Rona! I like her! The texture looks great! Nice work! The molding paste is very fun! I haven't used mine in a while. Will have to incorporate it into one of my angel paintings! :)
ReplyDeleteI just started sketching an angel one, thought I'd use the molding paste on the wings!
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable! I love the texture too.
ReplyDeleteThe love/hate thing is normal I think - for me anyway - I nearly always go through that phase! I usually turn a canvas to the wall for a few days and don't look at it, then I like it again :)
Re the pen - I have a Hybrid Gel pen in white that I sometimes use. You could also use transfer lettering/letraset etc though it can be a bit pricey.

Thanks Angie
ReplyDeleteI'll have to trawl some online shops over here and see what I can find!
