Daydreams Sharing Joy by Dorthe Hansen

11:00

Hello dear friends, I`m here with my Monday post.

This time made onto a little panel with rounded corners,
which first was painted with Gesso, then sprayed with Flat Matte Bluebell
and Basil mixed together with lots of water, onto the panel and when dry, I added some strokes of
Crackle Glace in left lower corner, which again was painted over with White acrylic
to form a little crackle - you can see it on the last photo here.


I stenciled the bird using texture paste, and also added
an extra branch from the same stencil. 
When dry, it all was painted with mix of Green, Lime and Chestnut Brown 
and the bird had defined a little feathers and the around her body with a black fineliner.


A piece of green fabric was laid with a scrap of old book page, with a
piece of corrugated cardboard on top, in lower right side and also 
a piece of corrugated cardboard in left top corner. 
Onto the book paper I adhered a piece of skeleton leaf found in my garden.


Lastly, I stamped words from Lynne`s Affirmations, adhered them to the corrugated cardstock,
both of which were also sprayed with the Flat Matte sprays.
I used a tiny lid from the Flat Matte bottles, to stamp circles in two places, using 
Archival Ink and spritzed diluted Chestnut Brown color onto the panel, using a brush.

I think it is enough words for now  :-) 

Hugs and love
Dorthe

  2. What a superb bird sketch Dorthe, you really have made her stand out so pretty on your mixed media background. The combination of sage and bluebell gives that essence of nature and what a treasure to find that weathered leaf. All so beautifully painted. Thank you for sharing.

  7. A really beautiful panel Dorthe. The textured background is lovely and I love the bird that you stencilled on which has such a realistic look the way you painted her. A very serene and calming piece of artwork.
