Last day of the challenge, and a special face.
I have just finished my newest canvas and thought you might like a little peep at how it was made.
Started off collaging newsprint, bookpapers, found and handmade papers and gesso. This is quite a large canvas as you can see, I like this long format and use it quite often
Splattered acrylics over the top of the collaged paper and built up layers of modelling paste.
The little thistles are machine embroidered silk which I made on my sewing machine a couple of weeks ago.
There is also gold leaf and gold embossing powder, as you know I love my metallics ;)
The sky texture was built up with Gesso and then the raindrop effect was created with cosmic shimmer spray ink.
A huGe thank you to all who have left such fabulous comments and followed me along the challenge.

Oh wow. I loved seeing how this came together. I had no idea there was something called cosmic shimmer spray - it sounds delightful. The machine embroidered thistles are fabulous. I've just started incorporating more collage into my work - you are an inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI like the combination of drawing and painting in your stag's face (and body), and as always showing the process you go through to achieve your rich textures. I try to be a 'layer person', but it doesn't give me the satisfaction my usual style does, and I am never satisfied with the result. No wonder, when I see your lovely detailed paintings!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing the challenge!!! I love that you painted a combination of human and animal faces. The depth of layers and details in this painting is really fantastic!
