ANOTHER rustic peach pie!
This time I had my wits to get a photo before we gobbled it up.
Over the weekend retired husband got a notion to renovate the front porch!
Who'd a thought?
removed, leveled, repainted
nice and clean.
And something new from my art journal.
The following are from a two page spread.
Somehow they looked way better photographed separately
and in close up "pieces".
At least to me.
Techniques are from the Suzi Blu on-line class I'm taking.
I never thought I'd be able to draw a nose!
Next lesson is side and 3/4 views of faces.
They look pretty ordinary until you start adding layers,
and textures,
and more layers.
I'm having fun finally using a lot of the supplies I've been collecting over the last ten years!
On these pages I used pencils, colored pencils, acrylic paint, water soluble oil pastels, book paper, washi tape, a star punch, jelly pen (white), a palette knife, water soluble crayons, rub-ons, ink and rubber stamps. I might even have a go at it with a little sandpaper now. or maybe I should leave well enough alone. Nothing is ever really "finished".
The thing I like about this kind of art is I can do it 10-15 minutes at a time. I can put the pasta on to cook, and work for 12 minutes. Then it can dry while we eat. Then I can add another layer and go clean up the dinner dishes. Then another layer and go watch tv for a while. This is how I work well. Its good to get away from it and come back later with a fresh look.
