Acrylic Paints blended background and collage journal panel



For this panel I took quinacridone violet, cobalt teal hue and transparent yellow oxide which are all DecoArt Media transparent colours and translucent white which is semi transparent and blended them over a textured gesso background blending with a blending tool and blending foam and rubbing back with dry kitchen paper. When I was happy with the pale colours I then sanded lightly over the surface to reveal some of the white of the gesso below. Using ground espresso distress ink I blended around the edges of the card to give it a more vintage appeal and rubbed a little in the centre too wiping it back with a damp cloth.


Stamp text stamps using watering can archival ink before splattering with a watery wash of paynes grey. Add a collage with wildflower stems and some dried natural accents, ..........


...... a transparent butterfly coated with matte medium to take the shine off of it, .........


......... vintage photo and quote.

Your background is magnificent Brenda, it's almost a shame to cover it up as it's a piece of art in it's own right. Beautiful composition with the flowers and sweet vintage photograph. Really glad I searched to see if I had missed any makes this morning as I appear to be missing your creations along with a few others from my feed. Sorry i'm late, it's a busy time my end.
Wishing you a super Bank Holiday weekend Hugs Tracey xx

The warm blush tones of this are unbelievably pretty - I love it when you hit the pink zone! Perfect collage composition as always - another treat to catch up on.
