Orange Dream
Started out with the “circle” prompt, and ended up with two pages that don’t have much to do w/ the prompt at all. Oh well, that’s how it goes.
Did the first page by applying gesso to the page, then various colors of acrylic paint. I didn’t like it, so I coated it with gesso again and used sandpaper to take off some of the gesso coat so the paint underneath pokes through. Applied various glazes according to my whim & fancy. Then I added the collage elements. At one point I had added something that I didn’t like and I ripped it off…and it left a mark that I kind of liked. So I didn’t try to “fix” it. I overstamped w/ white pigment ink and the harlequin stamp from Cat’s Life Press.
The second page was gessoed (is that a verb?) and thev painted & glazed. Tried my hand at funky writing, didn’t turn out great. Oh well! Thanks for looking.
