...the studio play was great fun. I gathered some bottles of high flow acrylics and a long stretch of watercolour paper. After protecting the already-splattered floors (why did I bother?), I had a good splash-and-throw time.
Snippets follow:
Of course, the whole sheet will get more layers of play, so one never knows what will emerge. Given the size of the paper, I suspect it may be time to start another large panel. Go big, or go home!
I did manage, as well, to finish my oldest grandson's birthday painting. He turns 8 this coming month, and is now well and truly into his drumming lessons.
I suspect that his real-life drums are a bit quieter in colour. 😉
Edit: I'll be away from my blog for some time (2-4 weeks or as needed), so try to remain majorly creative until I get back, so I can get my fix!!
Happy Halloween to you if you're celebrating that this year...may your spooks send shivers up and down your back and the sweets be perfectly ghoulish! 🐈⬛🧟♀️🍬👻🎃
Yeah your back! I missed your face and your reckless abandon art. I love it! I'm going to have to try it sometime, I think I could release a lot of stress. throwing paint around, and it's beautiful. Your drum set birthday card is fabulous. I love the colors. What a SUPER Grandma you are.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween to you. Have fun and a big Halloween hug from me.
Many thanks, Deann...the stretch of watercolour paper madness is already a fun project, and may even turn into Christmas cards if all goes well.
DeleteAnd I'm going to edit my post to include the note that I'll be away from my blog for 2-3 weeks again as I manage some challenging extended family things. Always available by email, though! xo
That new drum painting looks perfect for a budding musician.
ReplyDeleteI hope he enjoys it as much as I did creating it!!
DeleteWhat a fun time you had! If I want to work that big, I have to do it outside. Then the magpies come to see what I'm doing, the flies land in the paint, and if I'm really lucky, the paint dries on the brush before I can get it to the paper/canvas! Not that I'm envious of your space or anything... 😊
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh, Tracy (assuming my Guessing Game is on point 😉). I just know the difficulties inherant in a small studio, given I was there for so many years. Apart from the paint drying quickly, that is - it is rare for it to be that hot in Alberta where I lived during my tiny studio days!
DeleteYes, you guessed correctly. I thought I'd put my name in but no...
DeleteThis is just my sort of thing. I'm surprised we ever get away from our desks. When ever I'm away I keep thinking what I shall do when I get home and back to the desk, how sad is that! Nice card too. Happy creating, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThe play is what it's all about, isn't it, Angela? It's a wonder to me that I ever finish anything, given that I'd rather just mess about with tools, techniques and paints!
DeleteWouaaaaah! Looking at this large sheet, it's hard to imagine all the extremely enjoyable extracts you can get from it!
ReplyDeleteEach one is so beautiful, rich and expressive!
I loooooove all of them!
I wish you and all your loved ones a wonderful Halloween.
Have a good time away from the web and see you soon.
Lots of hugs to you.
Thanks, Sim...I'm looking forward to playing some more with that wild sheet! Halloween was great fun (we're in a small town and a smaller condo complex, so that we had 30 children only come to the door). It was so much fun to see the costumes!! Sending a flurry of sugar-charged hugs back to you (well, someone had to eat the leftover candy, right?). 🍬🍬🍬
