Its the first day this week I have had a chance to be in in the studio so I did play at lots of things.
First I cut this Buddha stencil. There was a mistake but I tried it anyways. Then paint got under the stencil but it was already in my journal so I am stuck with it but that's ok.
I did more spray painting, some success but more that didn't turn out some days it is frustrating.
Then I tackled lesson 5 or 6 I can't remember which, in my layer love class. Several of the lessons were pretty much the same thing so I won't be doing them all. Some of you know I really don't like pink so I am skipping that one for sure. We were to pick colors or a picture we like or a combination of the two and do a background with it as inspiration. I love this picture of this glass bowl. I have been planning on using it in a journal page but haven't so far.
And here is my background. I may try next time to use less colors but I like it. I didn't add the drips because they are ok but I don't want them in every painting.
I also did some more wrecking of the journal but that is for tomorrows post.
I found out that Golden has this great guide on paint mixing. I didn't know such a thing existed so I printed it out right away. If you use these paints or need help mixing colors this might be helpful to you too. Here in the link http://www.goldenpaints.com/artist/mixguide.php

Really nice backgrounds Kate. I love the Budha on the first one.
I really like the Buddha page Kate and cannot see any mistake. I think it turned out really nice. I appreciate the Mixing Guide and am printing it out right now, thanks! xo, O
The painting guide is printing at this very moment! Thanks for sharing that.
I think the Buddha looks good. It wasn't the easiest stencil I've ever done!!
I love the blue - I just kept starring at it mesmerized!!
