AEDM25 Butterfly

 Click image to enlarge!
This is how I started. The butterfly comes from a stencil

Just wanted to share how this Tempera color glows in certain light.

Yep, I destroyed it! Wanted to see if I could turn it "dark". Guess not 😎  But I learned how to use the tape both for holding the paper and to use it for the paint to flow over the edges.

Butterfly!  Guess I´m done for now. I also learned it it possible to wet the paper A LOT and still get away with it 😇

Butterfly in progress, Sorry, I let you see the same piece 4 times. It is sketch paper size A5. If you did not already guess.

A sidenot might be of interest. The board I use for the paper says "SCANIA" on the top. I was working on the SCANIA heavy trucks design department in many years. I designed this bord for making it easy for drivers to sit behind the wheel and make notes. You put the board in your knee and lean it to the wheel. Then you can write comfortly. 😊

Testing shopping and having fun

 Click image to enlarge!
 The wave!
I tested some homemade think pasta. Sadly it is cracking so I used the blue paint "water" to glue it. Seem to work but it is rather fragile. Was thinking of adding a white tree but changed my mine. I like it as it is.  A very small canvas 12x18 cm


The beach!
Teh otehr day I was shopping! They have set up a DOLLARSTORE in my town and this was my first visit. I found the little black canvas above and the DECORglas, in the shell, and bought them. Also used remains of the pasta in the beach. And, giggling, the sand was once collected by my mother in Teneriffa :) 


The red beam!  20x20 canvas
This was mainly a failiure. I tested to work with stencils and straith lines with helo of tape. My mistake was I covered the canvas with tooo much black paint. The surface is slippery. That is why the paint looks dotted. Like oil it was drawn to puddles insted of an even surface.
Well, I got the idea and learned from it :)
