PaperArtsy have a great challenge this fortnight, Colour Mixing. I was inspired by Darcy and the informative post.
This is my creation...
I have never mixed any of my Fresco Chalk Paints to make different colours, so on a glass mat I stated with a blob of Bouganvilla, Beach Hut and Caribbean Sea.
With a painting knife, I just mixed Bouganvilla and Beach Hut.
I sprayed water on the mat and dragged some cardstock through it, There was enough paint to do 3 masterboards to play with.
On some seperate card, I stamped the image from Ink and The Dog Letters Plate 5 with Versafine Deep Lagoon. I like mark making, so one of my cockerals left a feather near the gate. I dipped this into a small blob of Caribbean Sea and drew some circles.
With a small amount of Beach Hut that was watered down, I brayered this over the image.
I cut to various lengths some reclaimed wood, cut out sections and glued into place.
All of the pieces were then glued together.
I decided only to decorate the front of each piece as I did'nt want to loose the effect of the wood. Really enjoyed colour mixing, will try again!!!
Lovely dimensional piece and the mixed colours look lovely together. I mix my Frescos all the time, I haven't got the space for many bottles!
