Hi everyone Debs here, coming from Bradwell in the Peak District. I'm up here for two weeks on my hols and as you are reading this I'm getting ready to go to a workshop with Dina Wakley. Thinking of her paints inspired me to use them in this week's project.
What I
did
On some
mixed media paper I added some texture paste to the page and created patterns
randomly with texture brushes.
Once
dry I added the paint in blocks of colours being careful not to blend the colours
too much as I wanted to keep the colours fresh and not make mud.
My
colour choices were based on colours that would blend and those opposite on the
colour wheel to make them pop; you can
see that the blue yellow and green work harmoniously together and the purple next to the yellow really shouts.
I drew
my girl with a black water soluble oil pastel which I activated to get some
shadows, then added some white highlights. Why this dried I added some stamping
using the paint and a few stamps with
black ink. Once it was all dry I touched up some areas of the face with a black
pen to neaten her features. I darkened the hair with the pastel.
What I used
I quite
like this girl who I think is quite colourful, hope you like her too.
See you
next week
Hugs Debs xX
