I thought I would also enter this piece for this week's Mixed Media Monday theme which is 'blues and greens'. I really liked her sparkly blue eyes and her sparkly green dress.)Well this is my first picture using my new paints. I really feel like my background is much more interesting with those paints on top. I worked quite differently with this one, I painted the back ground with acrylic paint, then when that was dry I used different iridescent paints over the top, when that was dry I painted the lady on top of that then used some textured paper on top and painted that with the sparkly paint. I might have over done the sparkliness a bit but I was having fun.
I also used a canvas board for a change which was probably some where in between A4 and A5 size.

wonderful Nicola...great background and new paints are always fun!!!
Nicola...I bought this special fabric that is backed by paper and then printed the fabric myslef...you then peel the back and rinse the fabric and let it dry and voila...your own art on fabric!!!
Yet again another wonderful image plucked from your fantastic imagination! You make me excieted about doing something... but I just dont know what it is yet!
These paints are lovely, I've never used these before either! They've got a lovely shimmery effect haven't they? And they're a nice addition to the textured background...I must look into getting some of these :-)
Hi again Nicola! Thanks for your sweet visit! I used a crackle medium for the background. You can find them at most crafts shops. I enjoy creating Halloween themed paintings. They are always so much fun. Can't wait to see yours! Have a lovely weekend!
