More Painted Papers

I have been making quite a lot of painted papers recently. As posted last week, which you can see here, I have been doing a course with Jane Davies and have painted some papers following some of Jane's suggestions.  

Burnt umber over white acrylic applied with roller (brayer)

Mixture of burnt umber, burnt sienna with white, stamped over with black and burnt sienna.

Black applied with dry brush over white

Paper bag (very thin paper, gave an interesting texture) Burnt sienna and burnt umber over white and printed.

Burnt umber, burnt sienna, fluorescent pink applied with roller onto crinkled brown paper.I knew those veg box bags would come in handy! I love this effect and can't wait to try other colour combinations.

Painted Papers

 I have been doing an on-line course with Jane Davies called Unlocking the Secrets of Colour. Here are some painted papers I did for the course, following suggestions made by Jane. I enjoyed this activity very much, it is one of my favourites! Watch this space, as I shall probably be doing some more, there are so many possibilities!

New Year, new course

January is often a time of reflection and planning for the year ahead. Whilst I was thinking I would like to do a new course, I came across a link to on-line tutor Jane Davies and found that she had a new course called Unlocking the Secrets of Color which was just about to start! I enrolled right away and am about to start exploring colour with acrylics. Thanks to Ann Somerset Miles for the link which I found on her blog Journaling The Journal.
