Remember that tiny painting give away that i had a few months back? haha. well it actually took me FOREVER to do it. Perry Azevedo from Seattle was the winner.. YAY!! AND he is such a rockstar for being so patient and putting up with me. The contest just called for one painting… but because i was soo late on it, i threw in a second painting with a similar design that i had in my archives. I really loved how they came out.
I am always cautions in trying to decern what to post and what not to post. I do believe there is something special about keeping mystery to an artist and their process. But the other part of me loves other creatives, and at times I wish others would share their expertise freely and enjoy the art of sharing techniques and tips with other artists. hmm…. So i showed parts of my process here. It can give you an idea of what goes on backstage. haha. With this project i decided to use designed craft paper to add layers and texture. i chose trees and raindrops because they are located in the northwest. haah. I think thats appropriate right? hah. Below are the original photographs that Perry gave me to use. I always love to hear your feedback, critiques, and comments in the comment section. Thanks Ya’ll. heh
