Mothers Day Inspiration

 Morning Bloggers 

Lisa Here with a Mixed Media Friday update .

Inspired by my gorgeous flowers I received for Mothers Day,and my lack of actual time in the last 2 weeks to really create anything new, I set myself a challenge on my 1st day of my weekend to try and learn something new.,So i watched a couple of quick You Tube Videos to get some basic ideas and then went into my art journal and created a few different pieces .

Here is my 3rd attempt at a bowl of flowers .

I kept the colours similar to the background, and added circles and shapes representative of flowers

(remember I'm no fine artist so I'm thinking abstract realism here)

I used 2 colours, then added highlight points on each flower with the opposite paint colour.., then a little white in there too.. finally a little black magic pencil,to add more detail.I did this all while the paint was wet , then I allowed drying time.

I used a mix of different paints  from Kylies fab range of mixed media goodness.

 time for some dramatic contrast and a splash of blue against 

those gorgeous reds and oranges 

same principle,with a little paynes grey added to the blue for shadow.

 A little negative space painting and I painted in the vase,

and added a little more detail for using extra layers of paint and working with light points 

(still lots to learn here) But I really just didn't want to fuss all over these pieces,because practice makes perfect and I wanted to bash out a few to get a little control and confidence.

More colour with some folage ,and a little magic pencil

 Then I tried it again

And Again

and after a day of about 6  different pieces

I created this :) :) :)
