JOFY number two

Hello again! If you read my previous post you would have seen I wasn't very happy with my last post. Well this is attempt two.

I used the two same colours as Jo, on her post for the paper Artsy blog in the week. This time I decided to use a tag and draw my flowers so that I could paint them. 


I added leaves, which I painted in the undiluted Teal and used Chalk for the flowers. 


I built up the layers of the flowers using a water brush which I let dry in between. Once the white was finished I added a watery Teal to the flowers to add some depth. I put this on with a dry brush and then baby wiped off. 


Lastly I used a bottle top in a very watery Teal here and there to finish. 


I like this one better! Thanks for looking. Take care Debs xxx

  4. Well there's not a lot wrong with the first one but this one has more of the feel of Jo's, and I applaud you for drawing your own flowers as you don't have the right stencil!

  6. What a beautiful effect you have achieved with the flowers! This looks serene and tranquil. I am working my way through visits backwards so I haven't yet seen the one you didn't like so much. I'm sure you are seeing it through overly critical eyes! This is fabulous, anyway! Julie Ann xxx
