blotches

Finding videos to watch then trying them for myself...

This one was fun but the waiting for the layers to dry took some patience.

Mix acrylic paint with water and paint it onto watercolor paper. Splatter rubbing alcohol onto it to get the blotchy effect. Repeat multiple times with different colors. I think I had about 6 layers.




Only 2 layers, trying to find the right ratio of paint:water.




Covering it all up with pink.




And the finished product! It was originally a large sheet of watercolor paper, maybe 11 x 14 so I cut them down to fit onto some plain greeting cards to make an interesting trio set.

What do you think of them?? What colors should I try next?

Cat Kiss

Remember how excited I was for Joshua's Adventure in Art class last week? Well, it was super simple and fun so I was able to do my own mashup.

Above is my print of Klimt's The Kiss that I got from Z Gallerie about 18 years ago and it's pretty big. It's hard to find a good place to display it and right now it's in the dining room.



I tried to incorporate Kliban's cats with The Kiss and this is the result. I'm happy with it since it was my first attempt. Now I want to do the same technique to do a cat hockey player. :)
