Good morning artsy peoples!
Doing something a little different
today!
I saw this blank canvas tote in Hobby
Lobby and
I had to buy it! I don't know, I see something blank
and I have to paint it!
Here is the back of the tote.
I
even colored the handles.
Anther view – the first picture was a
little bright
because I wanted you to see the shimmer in he hair.
Here are some pictures in
progress!
Started with a little gesso and drawing.
At CHA I tried some new (new to me)
paints -
Tulip Soft Fabric paints. They even
have metallic and
glitter colors! So fun! I had to go get some!
I probably
didn't need gesso,
the canvas was pretty heavy, but I like
painting on gesso.
Once I did all the colors I went in with a black PITT
Artist pen. They are waterproof once
they are dry.
And you could put it in the wash!
Here is a close
up of the quote on the bag.
"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world,
The Master calls the butterfly."
Richard Bach
It's all about perspective.
So what do you think?
