 | | I am having so much fun playing around with mixed media for the mixability challenges. This week Dina put together a video for us on water techniques so I pulled out some water and started to play. I had been playing on a different piece and ended up with a puddle of water with glorious green reinker on my piece of plastic so I smashed my piece of paper between the plastic to get a base of green (note to self-even if it looks safe, put on gloves!). I then tried the dripping water color technique with a paintbrush, water and reinker drops adding gable green and baja breeze. I spattered some Island Indigo and also ran a brush with water and the Indigo along the top. As I was working, I thought I saw a tree shape forming at the bottom so I was adding some brush strokes in that area when suddenly a face started appearing. I added some brown streaks and then used some midnight muse around the outline. I spritzed the top again with plain water before stamping my words. I was thinking about how we all struggle to figure out who we are. We have had a rash of suicides at the high school in our small town with 3 attempts on one day a couple of weeks ago. The Casting Crowns song "Who Am I?" came to mind and there you have it. I'm not sure where this will end up. I haven't started an art journal yet, but this may end up being my first page! Thanks again to those who're stretching us with these fun challenges! |
