Paint Party Friday! Loving experimenting with Texture!!

Hi everyone, I was so inspired by everyone's work last week that I really wanted to try something new. I decided to work on a piece from my angel sketches.  I posted those sketches for my Sunday Sketch work! I've been really wanting to experiment more with texture.
Natasha's piece from last week really inspired me as she posted a video with it. I haven't tried the rollers yet but I'm planning on doing that soon. I did use tissue paper and then layers of paint for the background. I really want to work on my backgrounds to make them more interesting and I really love how this one turned out. So thank you Natasha for sharing your methods it's really helped me push through my creative block that I was having!!!

 I really enjoyed making this one the texture really worked with the image especially the wings.

This last painting was done on oil paint paper with acrylic paint!
I look forward to popping around and visiting you all over the weekend :0)

  7. These are lovely! I like that the angel is faceless - so she can be whoever we need her to be. The texture is fabulous and you made a great success of the background.
