Am not sure what I am looking at here - geraniums, a painting or modeling clay, cement? Am I missing out on some history here... None-the-less, she is very attractive.
Corine, Hi, Happy Birthday - Yup, original art. There's a selection of my paintings down the side bar too.
Margaret, hello - on an old canvas about 8X10 I put a thin coat of polyfilla leaving an edge or frame around the cement. I drew in the half-dried cement with a pencil and my finger. When the cement was almost dry I coloured it with acrylics using my finger. Giulia Geranium is a fellow blogger (her link is there but the highlight is hidden)who reached her one year blogging anniversary.
Got it! Thank you. I hadn't come across Giulia Geraniam before. Will look out for her blog. Finger painted clays and cements, when hardened and sealed with shellac make good matrixes for prints, too. Lovely.
ooops. I just deleted 3 comments. Sorry folks!
ReplyDeleteOriginal art? I am so impressed with this.
