This artwork was for the Crazy Amigos Challenge Blog. I wanted to try some new techniques on this challenge. So I used vintage papers and tissue paper. I transferred images onto the papers using a chartpak blender marker. I then glued them onto a piece of cardstock that was supported by some cardboard from a cereal box. I cut out and added a few more bird images that I had. Then I did some "scrumbling" which is using a filbert brush or a deerfoot brush to pounce paint around the area. In this case, I used gesso to hide the edges of the elements that were pasted and add some overall texture. I then added washes of Twinkling H20's using very subtle shades and working up to stronger colors.
