A fortnight has passed and it is time for another challenge with Smudgy Antics.
We want to see you ladies and gents make a COLOURFUL project WITHOUT using coloured pencils or markers of any kind. That's right!
NO COLOURED PENCILS OR MARKERS OF ANY KIND ALLOWED.
Are you stumped? It really isn't that hard once you start thinking outside of the box and
are willing to give different techniques a try.
You can paint with acrylics, oils, water colours, inks, or even perfect pearls.
If you are not into the painting thing, you can give pastels or paper piecing a try. Heck, you can even use your own blood, but I don't really recommend that unless you're doing a small project like an ATC, an inchie, or a twinchie :D
This is a 5 1/2 inch by 11'' canvas. I used acrylic paints.
The main image is a digital image from SMEARED INK
printed onto tissue and adhered to the canvas after the first layer
of paint had dried. I then used URBAN DECAY RUBBER STAMPS again from
SMEARED INK but only available if you join the RUBBER CLUB and randomly stamped in paint over my background.... i highlighted bits when it had all dried with cream acrylic paint.
The numbers and words were done with stencils.
Hope you'll give this challenge ago this fortnight.... it was a lot of messy fun!
Thanks for visiting BDx
