DIFFERENT STROKES: Our OCTOBER forum challenge

[LavenderFrost Moderator, Acrylics]

With these projects you can be serious or just do it for fun. The important thing is that it gets you painting. And sometimes trying new things.

Wow Clode, you really tried a lot of things. A very good learning experience.

Did I say I would post today? I meant tomorrow. lol

Claude – wow! Such wonderful textures and experimentation here!
I’m so impressed with them and thinking how they can be used ……. #3 looks like a miniature abstract landscape! Thank you for joining us.:)

Merri – I do think the technique works better on an absorbent surface; when I tried on gessoed card it took forever to dry!
The other thing you can do is fill a little syringe or pipette with a different colour and shoot it down some of the creases – fun and nice patterns!

Cheers, Maureen

Clode – wow, you sure tried many different ways.

I really like the egg shells effect, reminds me of light shining on a large diamond. but I like them all.

Well done , excellent experimentation.

cheers

I was good this year, I didn’t buy any Halloween decorations, instead I made one, and got 2 wetcanvas projects done at the same time.

I used some gel medium to add texture to the tree and build up the post, and sand at the bottom, painted over, and then some glitter to add a little magic. Done on mixed media paper and then glued to an old silver tray. The picture is about 5″ in diameter.

Michelle, that’s gorgeous! So much nicer than the expensive things made of cheap plastic etc! Love the cat! Where did you get the tray, it’s a beauty! I like the textures too!

Okay, here is my texture I did this month. (Recuperating from surgery and I try and paint how I feel – Therefore “Outhouses” was this month. ) I just finished this and there is some texture in the snow-winter and tulips-spring. This is one I did for fun for my bathroom.

Regards,
Cindy

Cindy, nice set of outhouses, a suitable painting for the bathroom. Will make you appreciate indoor plumbing even more lol.

Maureen, I’m not sure where I got the tray, probably a yard sale.

Oh, what a challenge! Here is my painting using a textured paste using: baking soda, school glue, acrylic and water. I started with a palette knife, then the end of my paint brush, a sponge, and almost anything else that I thought might work. This is on a 9 x 12 canvas board. Comments and questions welcome. Glad to be done with this Chickadee!

Cindy – how very appropriate!! Lovely set of mini loos! Certainly a talking point for any visitors using the facilities!! Thank you for joining in, and hope your recovery is swift.:)

Jean … lovely, plum little chickadee and surely you had fun making/applying that paste! Thanks for participating in the play.:)
