Vintage patterns-digital images and art-art quilts-mixed media
One more piece created with one of Tamara’s lessons. The eyes are still not the same and they were when I sketched them. It is when I paint them they seem to morph. I like her though and the pages. Painting faces is getting easier with each one I do.
Country Charms was created for the colour challenge with ADB Designs at the Digital Scrapbooking Studio for May. Loved the colour palette which shouted vintage to me.
This week’s Life Book 15 lesson brought us a discussion about light and shadow with Lynn Whipple plus a lesson on light and shadow while drawing an apple with Tamara Laporte. This was another fun lesson, as I love light and shadow which adds so much depth to a piece. Thanks to Tamara I am becoming comfortable with graphite and using it as an art medium rather than just as a pencil for getting a sketch down on paper. I ordered a graphite stick and used it for the first time on this piece and I love the freedom the stick gives me.
Bird plates, I love vintage birds pages…the images are always so colourful. Here are four that again come from an old vintage book out of copywrite. They are 4 inches in length and perfect for your swaps. Personal use on this page as well please, no commercial uses.
Forest Glade is a another compilation of photos from the Morgue Files site. I just can’t seem to stop doing these, it’s like a kid in a sandbox with lots of toys. I just opened up several photos I liked, picked the forest for the background. Blending modes and transparency were used on every layer along with some Gaussian blur.
