Lately, I've been inspired by Christy Tomlinson's YouTube videos. I love the work she does on canvases and so I decided to try my hand at her technique. These are the pieces I made.
As you can see, on three of the canvases I painted my Paige dolls. The canvas below measures 10"x10".
Here's some pictures of the steps I took to make the mini canvases. They measure 3"x3" and 2"x3".
I first covered the blank canvases with scraps of text book paper. Then I painted a silhouette of my Paige doll in gesso.
I used my caran d'ache neo color II watersoluble crayons to color the faces and dresses.
I painted the hair with acrylic paint, added my metro tissue paper for the dresses and added other embellishments and doodles to finish it off. They're so small and fun to make!
The canvas below is for my daughter. She asked I make her a canvas for her baking studio, so I thought cakes with eyes would be perfect, it matches her baking style! I'm so proud of her, this week she just reached over 400,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel, KawiiSweetWorld!
And on a final note, I just received the latest issue of Somerset Life today.
My Victorian post cards I made a few months ago were published. I always love how this publication photographs the pieces and makes them look great...thank you Stampington & Co. I'm always honored to be in your magazines!
And on a final note, I just received the latest issue of Somerset Life today.
