I have been "down for the count" the past few weeks with Bronchitis and while the hacking cough and congestion is pretty much gone, I am still dealing with total exhaustion. So, what should have been a pretty quick painting took me most of the day because i kept falling asleep!! LOL
Started with my trio of circles the dabbed paint here there & everywhere. While it was still wet, I sprinkled on Kosher Salt and set it aside to dry. I must say, the salt "bloomed" beautifully, leaving behind oodles of tiny frosty looking flowers in my background. Now on to painting the baubles - which I can't find in my bg because as most of you know, my vision is way skewed so I picked 3 areas close to where I want my ornaments and start painting circular shapes. I am not sure what white gouache is but I don't have it . . . Hopefully the China white watercolor I substituted will work okay. I drew the ornament caps and the strings with a black sharpie. Today's video artist suggested white gel pen to decorate the baubles. The only thing I can get mine to write on is my hand - I get nothing on paper so back to my China White WC and a No. 4 long round brush to add some designs and finished with a stamped sentiment.
