Mixed Media "Paint"
This is the first acrylic painting I've ever completed, and I started a with a 12 X 12 canvas, trying several different techniques to see where they would lead me.
I put down a deep blue acrylis base and layered on my favorite black and white paper. Next, I painted over the paper with more acrylic. When that dried, I sanded off some of the paint to let the design peek through. I wasn't entirely pleased with the result, so I repainted the sanded areas with watercolors. Then I put on more blue, violet, and white acrylic using a stipling stroke to create depth. While this was drying I drew the little figure with colored pencils and cut out yellow stars. I remembered a clock face that I'd stashed away a couple of years ago just because I knew it would come in handy someday. I used colored pencil to draw the moon's face onto the clock(not very visible in this photo) and inked the edges of the moon. Last I used Modpodge to attach all paper images to the canvas, and this is the result called "Bring Me a Dream." I hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by,
Love,
Alberta
