sprayed papers


The following are close up shots of my "sprayed papers" that will become my "Letter Loved" journal for my online lettering class that I'm taking with Joanne Sharpe. Most pages were completed by spraying liquid watercolor paint (dick blick in a $store travel bottle) thru stencil #1 then dried. Acrylic paint was then sponge painted thru stencil #2 for a layered look. The others were done by first squirting 3 colors of acrylic paint randomly on the page then scraped with an old credit card before drying. Once dried, a stencil was laid on top and acrylic paint was sponge painted thru the stencil for this layered look. Enjoy....this is just too much fun!














WARNING: this is very addicting!!!

    1. Thanks so much Bonnie. I just was not happy with the the mess I kept getting when spraying watercolors over each other. It didn't layer like I had hoped...and sprayed where I didn't want it to...and the stencil designs seemed to keep getting lost...so I just played around and opted to sponge paint acrylic over the watercolors and this is what I got! I'm also loving using a credit card to scrape acrylic paints. very cool effect.
      Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! It really means alot to me! have a great rest of the weekend.
