Yesterday I told you I had been playing with my friend Jeanette to create original art pieces for each other.
Well this is the piece I sent back to her :D
We each worked on a background for the other to work onto(without telling each other anything about what we were using). We only knew what size piece we agreed to use...
and this is the scrummy, textured and painted background she gave me.
The scary part is making the first marks on someone else's work....but we both intended leaving parts of the background showing through, so I went for it lol
Pencil lines sealed with medium to stop it blending, then a thin layer of white gesso to unify the background...
and now it was just a case of picking colours from the base and building up layers.
She just looked such a "bubbly" party girl :D
I just couldn't bring myself to "lose" the bee on her nose lol.
Every party girls needs bunny ears right, and a big butterfly bow ...
I wanted to add something "behind" her to add a bit of perspective...
so I picked out a big blousey flower...
deepened the tone of the background with a thin glaze...
and added highlights of white and gold
I just love this bubbly bunny girl, and am thrilled that Jeanette loves her too :D
I am counting her as my "Piece a Week" as though I painted her a couple of weeks ago I couldn't blog til we'd swapped.
And I am entering her in Manon's Paper Saturday Challenge
Enjoy :D XXX
