Art Every Day






For Day 3 and 4 in Art Every Day Month

Background made on 4 x 6 canvas board.
I'm trying to use up supplies I have around the house.
I have no idea why I bought the 4 x 6 canvas boards.
They come in a pack of three and so far, I've found two packs.

I applied a *sort of* thick layer of gesso and then stamped into the gesso leaving an imprint.
Fluid acrylics added and rubbed with a baby wipe.


Background: AEDM Day 3

Day 4

I did some more stamping.
More Golden Fluid Acrylics including gold.
More rubbing.
Added lady (she is from a woodblock print by Hokusai).
I love her glasses.
Added the bird.

Lady 2

Lady #2
(I feel a series coming on!)

More information about AEDM can be found here.

Wishing all of YOU well and much joy!

These are lovely! Lady #2 really caught my eye. How wonderful that you are participating in this--I think it's great to intentionally make art every day. Have fun!

This piece came together perfectly. You make really, really, really great art. Like you, I like the glasses on the lady, something you seldom see in Asian photos and images. Wonderful art today!!

These are lovely - I like the idea of using up stuff you have in supply at home - I go through phases of using different size canvasses and have a bunch of 40x50cm ones which are currently being neglected in favour of tiny 5x5 inch ones as I'm going through a 'small' art phase! I love the Japanese Lady with the bird.

Love the texture on the first piece - very pretty! I like the thick look of it. The second art piece also has some awesome texture.

How pretty both these are. I love the texture and that you add things as you go along. It's always a good idea to use up what we have before buying all new again. Have fun and enjoy using up your stuff.

Using baby wipes made me giggle. {smile} I adore both of these, but the first one is my favorite!
