Thursday night I quickly decided to make a couple of mixed media works for the Mothers Day stall (the next day!) and I'm finally getting around to putting them up.
They were small 8x10 canvases and I began with an acrylic wash, then another coat of acrylic, then when that dried I used silver spray paint and plants from the back garden as templates.
The round one is a nasturtium. I then decided to tone down the silver and went over it again with a white wash. Materials and tissue paper were used for the mixed media. Oh, and then I used graphite to go around the flower shapes.
I think they sold, but it's always hard when your buyers are aged between 5 and 12 years old. I probably should have left the silver paint, cause they like shiny.
