UNICORN FINISHED

ABOVE IS MY FINISHED PIECE OF ARTWORK. 

BELOW IS HOW IT STARTED.

I have matted and framed using my "stash".  I cannot believe I had the

perfect size and match.  That doesn't happen very often.  

I have hung it where I can see it several times a day to determine whether it is REALLY DONE and soon it will be FOR SALE.

Since we have to be social distancing I thought I would distance myself with some art. The 1st photo shows a pour I did a few months ago.  Nothing special but a nice piece to play with and see what might or might not happen..and  a learning experience.  

The unicorn is a stencil and I used gold, silver, copper and white modeling paste.  I  let it dry overnight and in the morning I applied a coat of Satin varnish in preparation for the next time I would work on it.  The varnish protects this stage and in the event I don't like what I do next I can easily wipe it off.  

The stencil I have laid out to work with next is bubbles.  Small, overlapping, different sized open bubbles.  I also  want to shade around the unicorn with black to help bring 

him forward more.    

I have shaded around the unicorn and added bubbles in grey and white ransoming with the stencil.
Added another coat of Satin varnish and hopefully will find time to work on this again tomorrow
evening.  Taking photos of your art as I progress helps me to see differently things I might want to change, lighten or darken, etc.  More  bubble work will continue in my next sitting with this piece.  

Copper Earrings

Since it looks as if we are all going to be restricted from venturing around as we are used to I have
been using the time to create.   Just got 9 pair of earrings listed on my Etsy site for sale and I have
several different designs that I am going to make into necklaces over the weekend.   It feels good to create and pull things from the inside out.    I love the copper the way it shines and reflects light.  Seems so richly elegant but simple and unique.

Believe in Unicorns Stencil

I am working on a canvas piece using this stencil which is new in my Etsy shop.
The base coat for the canvas was Paynes grey and a complementary purple along with Warm White
 with acrylic paints in a soft foggy slip slap.  I have used a modeling paste (Pearl White and White) for the unicorn... and using other stencils I will be adding accents....  I will take a photo tonight after I spend an hour or so with it ....  The mat is going to be purple and the frame white.  I am never quite sure what I am going to do until I do it...

It is relaxing and a lot of fun to just play a little.

This is a couple of nights work.  Goofed up doing the I believe in Unicorns.....so tomorrow night I have to fix this...put my hand right in it....  I have spattered the paining and the mat with Glamour Dust Paints the lightest one they carry .   Not too much....not too little.  I ended up using 6 stencils....IF this is finished.  I will look for a piece of glass and get it framed....erase my charcoal lines, etc.  Hopefully someone will like it and purchase....
