I am also going to incorporate a few ideas I stole from watching Natasha White's live class yesterday on intuitive/tribal painting.
Lot's of pics for this one, so am going to do this post as a list :D
Layer #1 White gesso to key base page
Layer#2 spritzers and stencils
Layer#3 more spritzers with templates(forgot to rotate)
Layer#4 (forgot yo rotate this one too) acrylic paint through stencils
Layer#5 Pink acrylic scrubbed on and through stencil
Layer#6 highlight with Stabilo All pencil
Layer#7 (cheated by cutting out a previous portrait) glued on Portrait
Layer#8 Added hand print with white acrylic(one of Natasha's ideas)
Layer#9 (was going to do lino print but couldn't find lino :S) Scratched all seeing eye into wet paint using black acrylic and tip of brush handle(another one of Natasha's)
Layer#10 Built up pink layer around portrait
I'm not calling this page finished, as I just remembered I was going to add something lol....I get so bored waiting for stuff to dry I forget what I was doing (bad Gina)
Love it!! So colourful and detailed.

No fair! You are just having too much fun! :). This is wonderful and I love all the layers and beautiful colors. I want to play!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, I certainly liked the evolution of painting in the window and the heart, but when his face appeared lluna everything is light and tender, really lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, Gina! Love all the layers. I wanna make that eye stamp, don't you?! :) You can use rubber=erraser as well if you don't have lino. Oh wait, then it's not lino print. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a wonderful page.
ReplyDeleteWow that amazingly beautiful hun, loving all the different layers that make the complete piece - fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOhhh Gina, this is wonderful! Your background, the cool face and the hand with the eye, all fits so wonderful together :-) Where ist the "favorite-button ?!
ReplyDeleteI always forget to cut apart paintings and use them in other pieces. I don't consider that cheating at all - I think it adds cool dimension to your piece. I like the way that white hand is just a little bit transparent.
ReplyDeleteGreat layers and a beautiful piece of art.
ReplyDeletelovely layers
ReplyDeleteGina love the steps & I don't reckon you cheated, you just 'improvised' LOL - great work :)
