Well I've done it - finished my art postcards ready to send out. I had so much fun creating these - they allowed lots of freedom to try out different techniques and use different materials.
To support the sustainability theme, I used old Christmas Cards for my postcards and cut them down to size.
Here is a bit of a step by step process I used.
 |
| Applied a coat of Gesso |
 |
| I drew one of these lovely ladies, then photocopied her onto water colour paper, so I had a few to use on different cards |
 |
| I used watercolour pencils to add a bit of life |
 |
| I did get into a bit of a mess - but that's part of the fun! |
 |
| My finished cards - can't show them to you all as yet - it would spoil the surprise for those receiving them - but I will in a future post. |
OK - so now I am off for a run - really, I am!
Oh how fun that you're sharing your process, thanks Yvonne. From the small details you let us see I think they are fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the swap!
Vonniemay! Well done! They all look absolutely brilliant. You are so clever. Vallie xoxo
