More acorns. It is quite fun to work with. Only back draw is they fade away quickly. A camera is needed to capture it all. To the left in all images is the same acorn in different stages. It darkens and then it starts to crack.

The acorn to the right in the pen image is the canvas for the center one in the second image. I draw the "tree" from the pattern it it´s bottom area.

I haven´t given up of trying to preserve some of them. I have a few in a bottle with vinegar right now, but I doubt it will work, Seems like the red color is moving out if the acorns :(

I have tried two kind of pens. Ink and gel works. Still have to try arylic paint if I can handle such a tiny brush. :)

Blues

This is two images from my Instagram account. I suddenly got some unexpected things to take care of so the painting is on hold.

I have experimented with the acorns but it is hard to get what I want. Taking a shot is easy as the acorns are fresh and still has its beautiful colors. But as soon as I want to do something with them they loose the colors and darkens. :( I wanted to create a plate of sorts. But the acorns looses their colors.

The Blues is actually reed that first I took a shot when moving the camera, Then twisted and colored it in photoshop. I like this blue, glowing color so that was what I aimed for.

Happy PPF everyone!

As I mentioned last week I have been to the forest looking for birch bark. The two pieces above was not too much ruined and I liked the look of them. Second one reminds me of a face. I can´t use them as sculpts so I took shots and did the rest in Photoshop.

The last one is created from leftover colors from a tempera flip I made. This one is still wet and was sitting in the sunlight. Loved the colors. A good thing with photo is that I can save even wet ones and use them. Maybe I make a poster from it.

Not sure I will make any more pours as I have to use a torch to break bubbles in the paint. I am not comfortable with it, think it is dangerous with the strong fire it creates. :(

Wishing everyone a great PPF

Black and white week

Click image to enlarge!

Black and white abstract

Have been busy learning and using Tempera paint this week. The things I ordered finally arrived.
I have loved working with white paint on the black CARB paper. This week I colored canvases with black tempera . When i sprinkled the black color on the first canvas I liked the pattern so I took a photo of that. Then I made the canvas black. When dry I created the white chain art on the black canvas. Think it worked out pretty well. :)

I have also walked the forest to find nice birch bark. I will share what I found next week. :)

I was playing with pencils and blending in sunset colors. Then I remembered I had this deer image so I put it in there. It is painted on a overhead plastic sheet. Thought I would have it on a window but it did not work so well. But adding a black background in Photo shop, it looks much better.

Sailing in sunset

This one was made at the same time as the deer above. But on black paper.

I like the way the acrylic colors interact with the black, carbon, paper. I might make a poster from it.
