We’re back to Life Book this week. This is week six which is taught by Tam. The Lesson was on playing with spray inks. Spray inks are not and have never been my friend. I just don’t like how they are never easy to use. I have sprayed my face, hands, and all the items on my table in an effort to use them before I just gave up.
When I saw that this week was sprays, I almost walked away, but I decided it was a sign and that I had to at least give it a try.
so I did.
Even though the paper wasn’t perfect for it, I did the spray part on the right page first and then I drew the profile on the left and painted it with oils. The oils are still a challenge for me to use and I am trying to learn. They also take forever to dry.
Once it was done, I did some pen-work like Tam did and wrote my little reminder message, which says: We accept the love we think we deserve.
That’s from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. A book I love.
Remember This is a project for 2014. You can read more about it here.
What an interesting effect you created, with the more delineated face on the left and the abstract nature of the sprays on the right! I like the dreamy look on her face and the stars in her hair. Happy Tuesday.
I find this to be totally awesomely amazing! I looked at it for a good five minutes. I felt like I could read her mind…the peace, the serenity in her face. Amazing.
This is amazing. Great work.
Fabulous page! love the sprays, drips (in both directions) and stencils. i recently took a class from Dyan of Dylusions fame and one thing that stuck was that in order for the sprays to work as they should is that room temperature is key (must be cold) as if it is too dry/warms the sprays will dry to fast. As always, thank you for the inspiration. Thank you also for the link to Life Book.
You did a fabulous job with the inks – love that colorful lady
I love that you branched out. It came out really cool.
