A very quick post, I wanted to get this out yesterday, trying to keep up with getting caught up! The prompts for this batch of index card creations are: pretzel, poetry, palette, pixelated, pinball, portrait and plate.
The card for pretzel was an experiment, I simply made layers of three colors by putting real mini pretzels on the card and spraying them with Marabu acrylic spray paint. I like the effect, and I’ll be paying with those paints more in the future. For the poetry card, I cut out a few lines of text from magazine articles and filled in with my own words. Palette was simply blots of acrylic paint in one of my signature color combinations of purple, green and yellow. Finally, the pinball card was a pleasant surprise. After looking at images of pinball machines online, and studying the photorealism paintings of Charles Bell, I cut shapes out of colored paper, layering them to imitate the pinball graphics, and added details with gel pen.
More tomorrow, some sort of stitching.
