I played around with painting fast, not worrying about what I was making, scribbling with Koh-i-Noor pencils and scratching paint with the end of my paintbrush. I was using The Creative Edge book by Mary Todd Beam as my springboard.
I like it so far. The little one said it might need a person. I think she means vintage image since that is what I like to play with most. 
No idea what I'm doing with it yet. It's painted on gesso'd matboard (closest thing I have to illustration board.) Supplies are gesso, acrylic paint and fluid acrylics, vintage paper, modeling paste, stencils, gel pens.
It's about 12X18" in size. Work in progress.

ReplyDeleteI really like this piece and I am fond of Beam's work.
ReplyDeleteDo you have her earlier book? Is this one like the first?
I think it's fabulous! A little vintage woman may really pull it all together too.
