Little Red Riding Hood Mixed Media

I thought I would continue the work in progress photos with a collage to make it easier to view. I hope you enjoy seeing the transformation of this painting~ You can click on the images to enlarge them.


You can see I illustrated Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf~ & then used painting over collage elements and scrapbook papers to create the different effects. There are quite a few layers of paper and paint in this painting.

This is an image of the painting almost done. Right here I was debating whether to completely hide the word red in the background or bring it forward. I guess you'll have to wait to see what I did until the next post. Hope you have enjoyed viewing it so far.

Red Riding Hood Mixed Media Painting

Beginnings of Red Riding Hood ~ A mixed media painting

I thought you might enjoy seeing some photographs of a painting in progress and the transformation that occurs. I will have to post this in a few posts as there are quite a few photographs~ I started out with my Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf and it sort of took a twist in the forest. I hope you will enjoy the end results when they are posted.

I also have a painting on wood that I am doing for a challenge which I will share more of later. I am trying to limit my time on the computer right now and really buckle down on focusing on creating art and crafting. I hope to really push my focus and growth. When hubby took Sammie to piano the other day he brought home an artist post card of an artist who does en-caustic & photography combined and gives classes. I will check it out when I have the chance and let you know about it. It is local and not online but you may like to check her web site and work. I love inspiration from everywhere~ Don't you?

Well I must go for now and pick up Sammie from school and then back to painting~ What are you focusing on lately? What mediums are you working with currently? I would love to know~

Folk Art Mixed Media

This is a folk art mixed media that I waxed. So I am showing a photo collage of before and after.I had gotten 5"x5" size canvas and this is what I came up with. A few hearts are strung through a small clip and then the rest are glued as if she is dropping them to brighten someone's day. The words are the definition of the word "brighten". I kind of went glitter crazy, but it did say brighten. She was painted in acrylics, I used glitter and flakes and there is tissue paper glued and painted over. Dear readers I hope she brightens your day~
