Over at Jen Wordens site (see link on the side) her weekly challenge was using a fashion magazine use gesso and black pen, so here is mine. I loved doing this one, this image was all brown and oranges and I think it looks really kind of now looking. This was like a lady from way back when I forget what she was adverstising but it was in my Vogue book. Today was a clean the house and get things done day. I am afraid to move the house is so clean, now if only magically it would stay clean and tidy. You would like that 3 people and 1 puppy would not mess it up. Well should go, no news around here, when I have to tell you I cleaned the house, it means there must be something sadly lacking in this life.

I took a look at the challenge, but I never use gesso. I saw it in the art shop the other day and thought of you using it and others off course, but I am yet to discover it! I do like the effect you have created with it here. Looking good!
ReplyDeleteHi Lee,
ReplyDeleteThis piece is really beautiful and the technique sounds interesting. I think I will give it a try.

This is a great challenge, I'd never thought of trying anything like this. I like your piece a lot and yes, can't imagine it coming out of a fashion magazine, it looks like a renaissance lady.
ReplyDeleteGood job Lee! And Krissie, you can always use regular white paint - the gesso just sticks more easily to the glossy paper. Heck you can use ANY colour paint or marking pen for that matter! :D
ReplyDeletethis is such an interesting drawing... i like the effect by the technique you have used.
ReplyDeleteLove this!! I have to go check out that challenge. I am so impressed with how you are stretching yourself and trying new techniques. I definitely need to do that, too. Thanks for inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteI did laundry today, so you are not alone. You are inspiring in your ability to continue to try new things. I applaud you for that!
