I used to be gifted a number of outdated cigar packing containers from a fellow artist quite a few years again and have been ready for the proper alternative to make use of one. I needed this treasure field to be giant sufficient to carry quite a lot of items each small and enormous, and I believed this field was an ideal match. I eliminated the entire stickers and sanded down the end. Then I coated the skin of the field with clear gesso. At this level I used to be not sure of what coloration I might be utilizing for a base.
Subsequent, I created coloured die reduce leaves that I might be including to the collaged, stamped photographs. I figured this might be one of the best ways to pick a background coloration that will complement the palette and permit the acorn department imagery to take heart stage. To make the leaves, I sprinkled PaperArtsy Dye Infusions onto moist Bristol Paper and allowed the colours to bleed and mix collectively. In some areas I used further water and a paintbrush to dilute the colour and others I blended the colours collectively. I attempted to go away some sections with straight infusion colours in order that after I die reduce items from the sheets of paper I might have a big variation in leaf coloration.
