I had a bit of fun with this piece inspired by some
wonderful strawberries I bought recently!
I started out by adhering torn pages from an old book to a canvas using fluid matte medium. I then mixed a bit of transparent acrylic glaze with blue gouache paint (yes you can mix the two of them no problem). Once I created the background I went back in with more gouache paints and created the horizon and then added the delectable realistic strawberries images...yum they look good enough to eat!!

AWESOME!!! this is sort of a "fruit gothic" style....you are getting so good with your painting skills...they look like real berries....and are making me hungry.
ReplyDeletegreat job with mixing all those different mediums.
Delicious (and fun) strawberries. And, I love the idea of a mannequin muse (I may try to enter) and love the revised hand and think your postcard is great.
