Dear Liza,
We will be starting our French sojourn in a few days, and I am getting some extra art time before we leave. I am enjoying experimenting with mixed media and new (to me, anyway) ways of laying down color and pattern.
Friday, I started by choosing some acrylics that seemed to go together; Marina blue, Violet, and Light chocolate. I measured, but didn’t cut, my ATCs to be 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches.
Working with one color at a time and letting it dry, I put a drop of each color on the paper and scraped with an old driver’s license. I loved the swoops and how the colors overlapped!
That was a good start, but all those spaces seemed to need something. I picked up a #12 micron pen and drew some curves and dots. I kept it up until it seemed done. If I have learned anything in my short time learning art, it is when to stop.
I cut the cards apart and put my card on the back, and I’ll punch a hole so I can put them in my ring to share them in France.
Looking forward!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
