AEDM - Less that a flock of birds


Ok, so it's much less than the flock I imagined I was going to make today.  But I have a good excuse!  Sasquatch!  Yes, it's true!  I just heard on the radio that there is an anthropologist giving a lecture on Sasquatch tonight.  So I have to throw this up on the internet, brush my teeth, grab my notebook and race down to grab my DH!

I wanted to do these birds in the style of my larger mixed media paintings.

Because the paper is a much more fragile support than the canvas I use for my larger pieces, I decided to skip the sand paper.  So I just roughed them up a bit with a scrapy thing.

Then I glued some papers down and added and subtracted more paint.  This is where I heard about the talk tonight, so where I had to stop;)

I'll be back tomorrow with more of this.

  1. Yep, Sasquatch would stop me, too!

    But those little birds are pretty neat....had to go look in your shop and see.....

    I think I should come over to your house and help you play with all those groovy looking supplies.

    OK?
