Birchbark and flip

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

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. :)

Sailing and deer Testing pencils and blending

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.

Pastel flipping canvas landscape

Pastel flipping canvas landscape.

I did see a video using this technique so I thought I would try with a small one. You need a lot of colors foe this kind of work. But it is fun. For this one I realized I flipped the canvas the wrong way. I got a landscape instead of "flowers". No harm done, next time I flip it another direction. They are both dipped in the same "puddle" of color.

IF I ever receive the colors I ordered. It is not easy to get what you need around here :(
