Experimenting with Red!!

I don't usually use red in any of my creations, bit silly really but it scares me.

So I thought I would try...

Stared off with a scrap piece of cardboard and painted it with black gesso. After this was dry I painted with Scarlet Pebeo acrylic paint and over painted with Bronze eco friendly acrylic paint with a brayer.

I made the buttons from paperclay and painted with a mixture of scarlet paint and some mica.

To finish off a splatted some bronze drawing ink, will use red again as feeling more confident!!!
