Hi there everyone
Tam back again to share again..... don't you just LOVE all the colorful creatures that are appearing this month?
I do and want them all!
Today I've got another one...... this one is fierce and brave and powerful and.... yep you guessed it colourful....
Meet Malcolm, named after my Uncle.....
Did I have fun with this one!
When I created him, I'd been having a tough week - I'd needed to do something really brave and yes it had been hard.
When I sat down to create a colourful creature, this is what happened.
I love that my art is always an extension of what I'm feeling, a way to get things out, a way to heal, to process, to make sense of my world.
I used the following Scrap Matrix items:
white gesso
white gesso
As many of you know I'm a fan of using my stencils in ways other than what they are intended.
This one I've used as fish tails, as hair, but this time I saw a mane.
These are pigment based watercolour powders, so they have a good depth of colour.
I added a few bits of each powder to a paint palette, and then added some water to create my own custom watercolours.....
I used the following colours:
You can adjust the tone of each watercolour - more powder will give a vibrant strong colour and more water will mean it is a softer colour.
They are even more vibrant on watercolour paper.
Have a play and experiment.
Let's take a look at Malcolm in more detail......
So what colourful character are you going to introduce us to this month?
Can't wait to meet them all!
Much love
xx
