I applied gesso, then created texture using a knitting needle, scribbling lines in it. Once that was very dry, I Played With Paint!! Transparent turquoises and blues, and opaque Baltic Green; then I stamped the little white dots.
This one is done the same way, using a different color palette. I LOVE this muslin thing!
This one is similar, though I let the first Paint Playground dry before adding some of the transparent colors: quinacridone gold and nickel-azo yellow.
I have no idea where these will go. Jane demonstrated a stencil technique as well in the first lesson, but I may wait to use that later in the process. Thanks for visiting!
I love theis idea of playing with different mediums. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat great backgrounds for some inspiring art!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful backgrounds - so far I haven't played with fabric, but it will come, I know. I'm making backgrounds at the moment, mainly on canvas, and I LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful! I haven't used fabric to make backgrounds but I'd love to try. Thanks for sharing.

I like this muslin thing, too! Looking good.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to have such a collection of backgrounds! These are delightful, and perhaps I'll recognise them in later works.
ReplyDeleteAwesome yummy colour mixes! What will this become, keep us posted!? :-)
ReplyDeleteI will definitely post the pieces that come out of these backgrounds! Thanks for your interest. My fear is that backgrounds can look so yummy that I don't want to "wreck" them. I feel so loose and free making a "background", but it gets harder as each piece develops. Stay tuned!
ReplyDeletelove your work. I too love playing with and on muslin cloth too. Will be great to see what you do next. lynda
