I copied this from Carolyn's Use Your Words (free tutorials) so please visit her to see how it's supposed to be done! She has a button on her sidebar making it easy to find her lessons.Version 1:
After living with this for a week or so, I've determined I need to make a few changes - I think the letters are too big and the top colors are too narrow and stripey. So, a little rework is in order....let's see how it turns out....
Nope, still not feeling it. Gesso to the rescue and going a whole different direction:
Maps, tissue paper and some of Karen's stamped tissue paper are the start of my next effort. This 12x12 canvas may have LOTS of layers before I'm done!
well I have to say that I was really admiring your first canvas...and then when you changed it, well I liked it even more. I loved that twirling lady! But I know that you will make something even more splendid, and can't wait to see it. xo
ReplyDeleteOh I love your dancer sketch and the colors. Your map piece is quite fun and I am looking forward to seeing that finished! Go girl. xox
ReplyDeleteYour work inspired me to join up Carolyn's blog. Well done.
ReplyDeletewhat would we do without gesso? I used to be so afraid to put anything on canvas - what if I screwed it up? But seeing enough people do what you've just done and completely rework a canvas took all that fear away. so what if I don't like it. cover it up and start again. I look forward to seeing what happens to your canvas next!
