Alright back to the subject, you know I stray a bit don't you? As you might or might not remember I am taking a Life Book class at Willow. This week it was Paint over Collage. You get this face from a magazine, don't you know these pretty little models would get unhappy to know I did that to their faces? Sorry girls I enjoyed your ad but now to recycle it. Then you collage a page and paint over the face and add stamps and stuff.
My painting over the face project always turns into bye bye pretty model face and hello whatever Annette paints you like. I lose the face but then I guess I always make it mine? Now remember we are not suppose to make these gals in correct lengths of arms and legs and bodies, part of the fun of it I do believe.
I forgot to take the picture before I started painting, but trust me she did not look like this and she did not have this hair. I added the vintage image to remind me of where we come from in years past and the cute kitty. The kitty reminds me of Lulu a pretty Tabby we had for 17 years. She was the best cat, would greet all my clients at the door like they had come to visit her. She would just sit at their feet and always would try to get in their photograph.
Here she is all duded up. It is funny how these evolve though. I was going to put a flower, heart or something like that in her hands and lo and behold a book got there. It was totally not planned at all. I added a great saying on my page also. It is so interesting to see what the other students do and how differently we all make our girls
I don't know but I think you can still sign up for the class it is a year long. It makes you push yourself which is a good thing I think. Sometimes we need an inner pushing, not sure if that is a bonafied statement there but bet you get the message.
Once again thanks for stopping by and seeing what is going on in my world today. xox
Quite lovely, Annette. You are getting very good at these journal type pages. Wonderful saying and beautifully printed. So glad you are having fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, yes having fun but still doing digi painting. Best of all worlds. xo
DeleteDigi painting is fine but there is nothing like the real thing for touchability............Love your painting over page, x
ReplyDeleteHi Netty, yep I agree the touching and getting the fingers dirty is great. While doing photography for 24 years I missed my pastels and oils and now look gesso, gel medium and all kinds of goodies I am playing with now.
DeleteYou are so funny Annette. Your paint over girl turned out great! I finished my paint over yesterday. I'll post sometime next week. Mine turned out rather wild and strange!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Heidi:)
