Happy Friday everyone! I just wanted to share the first couple of canvases I completed from the Whimsey Girls workshop that I'm taking. Here they are:
I had so much fun making these and they are both so different. The girl were colored using copics along with black pen for the pattern work on her shirt. For "Follow Your Passion" I used scrapbook paper from My Mind's Eye and then followed the technique for creating the layers taught in the class. I found that by spraying a workable fixative (I use this one) I was able to get minimal to no bleeding from the markers when I applied the images to the canvas!
For "Have Hope", which I created on a smaller canvas, I decided to try combining some techniques I've used in the past to see what would happen. I created the background using the same technique I used to create "Jazzy Belle" and "Infinity" (which you can see here): old yellow pages, gesso, black acrylic paint, and original stencil for texture. I created the flower in the same way I did for my first ACEO collections which you can see here. I decided to use some new letter stamps to place the message on the border of the canvas which you can see below.

And here are a couple of more shots of both pieces.
I hope you enjoy and have a blessed and creative day. :)
