This ladies beak. The colourful Magenta caught my eye and I was under its spell. I've been painting papers.
Like this. I have been watching the lovely and very talented Suzi Denis on Utube and her practice of painting papers. Using old drop papers and other materials. Do you see the page in the top left. My lady with the beak came from there. Do you see it?
I have gone crazy, painting papers. It is so good for stress. I seem to only get short spells in the studio at the moment, so, just splash some paint around. I do a bit of scrawling lines first then paint in the spaces. Maybe you can remember this from your childhood. I certainly do. The swirling pencil pattern then coloring it in. But look at these pages. I have been painting several at once like an assembly line. There was nine in this batch.
Now see what happens when I add Magenta. In this one I went over every shape of 3/4 of the page. You can see what colors were underneath, and the rich transformation of every one.
So! Here is the object of this affair. My tube of Magenta paint, running out fast. These pages are leftover paint pages. I just love how the left one turned out. And without a though or plan. I often squeeze out too much paint, so use up the leftover on all sorts of paper and this was just an old partly used scrap book.
Do you see the green face in the top right corner. A paint blotch that spoke to me. I haven't done it justice. I should be brave and try to give her more life. Maybe one day.
Yes. The poor thing really does need a face lift.
Well I'm going to leave it there today, with another painted paper, cut in half and waiting for the next move. Do check out Suzi Denis's Utube videos. I have also signed up for one of her online workshops. So inspiring.
I'll be back with more Arty Malarkey, here at Trills Patch. Bye for now. Love and blessings, Trills xx
