Had a little play time over the last week. I am finding that I can work on a piece for a bit, then come back to it when time allows. This is new for me, but it works. And it gives the paint some time to dry. Because I can be a bit impatient. Shocking, I know.
It's not the prettiest art I've ever created, but I tried some new things and it sure made my heart happy!
I didn't use a single traditional paintbrush.
Background is gelatos, which I blended with a watercolor brush.
Traced the outline of each color block with oil pastels.
Added dimensional dots with a thick gesso and a template.
Used my new palette knife to add gold and grey paint around the edges.
Airbrush paint to add a spot for the quote.
Then I finished it off with the gold glitter by finger painting.
Did you see that glitter in the 2nd to last photo? Makes me squeal with delight!
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
-van Gogh
