Red Floral (Poppy or Hollyhock petals) Challenge.




The red flower glass piece was posted on Facebook.  I have no idea who the artist was it just stated it was glass art.  I work on glass but I wanted to see what would happen if I used the glass paints on canvas and if I painted a backdrop first.   I have chosen the colors I want to use and have painted the canvas with Blue, yellow and green acrylic paints.  I am using a large gallery wrapped canvas and when it is finished I would like it to hang behind the couch in my living room.  I need some bright color on that wall.   Now I have to determine what will come next.  Do I outline the petals with the black and fill in the red and green, OR do I paint petals and then outline.  Or do I do a little of each?
I think my next step just might be to get some random circles drawn on with a charcoal.  I am not confident enough to just "wing it"...  What I see in the inspiration piece that is above the framework I also have to think about.....which I think will end up being some thin wire and doing the circular and outline work on a piece of glass and peel off.....  Challenges are fun and one learns a lot... I hope.
I will take photos as I progress ......

Christmas Colors Fluid Art

WHAT A MESS.....  Tonight I did a major "Christmas colors" pour and dips.  Christmas ornaments, small candle jars, a couple of canvas pieces, and my 4 x 6 dips.    It will be fun to go downstairs tomorrow and see the results, finish coat, and put things back together.  I am hoping to do another pour of Christmas ornaments tomorrow.    (I keep my glitter in a salt shaker so that I have more control of placement and amount).

Diana's Favorites by DYNASTY (Brush Kit)

Image
This is a specialty brush kit that FM and DYNASTY brushes put together for me about 8 years ago.  For me,  they are "staple" brushes.  I put the kit together using Dynasty Wave, Dynasty Dry Brush along with large and small IPC Flat Blends.  To use these brushes I found a few things enhanced their usage ... a Break In of sorts.  Additional sizes are available in the Dynasty  Collection series and in the IPC line there are other shapes of brushes.   A great online site to purchase your brushes is:  www.thebrushguys.com  I have worked with them for years and never had a problem. Next time I think I will introduce you to the Foliage Wave brush and give you some tips on how to break this brush in, prep it before use, clean, and where to hold the brush, etc.  I feel all are requirement to achieve good results.   If there are any questions please email me at dianaputnam555@gmail.com and I will do my best to answer.
