It seems to be quickly transitioning into Autumn here in Indiana but I wanted to squeeze in one last summery project as a small fair well to this lovely season.
I started this off by applying a layer of PanPastel on a piece of black cardstock using a large Soft Sponge. These colors are all from the Tints set of pastels. I applied a layer of hairspray at this point and let it dry completely.
I then trimmed the light house image from the Lighthouses collage sheet.
I knew I wanted to create some texture but I also wanted to hide the seam along the bottom of the collage image. In order to create this texture and hide the seam I applied a layer of gesso using a spatula smearing it a bit to blend it into a "beach".
Once the gesso had dried I covered it with another layer of PanPastel creating the illusion of vegetation, a rocky shore and sandy beach. I decided to spice up the ocean a by adding more gesso to mimic foamy waves and stickles glitter glue.
It was finished off by mounting it on a piece of chipboard layered with burlap, a bit of Flat Jute, Mica sheets, shells and flowers. Fair well sweet summer....

Roni always amazes me at her depth of talent. Most artists have a signature style - and there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with that, I also have a deep appreciation for that - but Roni continues to surprise me with the different projects she does.
ReplyDeleteThis lighthouse piece is lovely and looks very much like a painting. Wish I could actually see and touch it. Thanks, Roni!
Wow, wow, wow do I love this piece!!
ReplyDeleteYes, WOW!!! It looks like a painting!!! Awesome job!!!
ReplyDeleteSecond try to comment here: I got this link from Karen, Lost Coast Scrapper, and wanted to see what beautiful alterations are possible using Pan Pastels. I left another comment but it did not seem to get published so I will just say that I am glad to have this opportunity to post a comment for a chance to win the Pan Pastels. The beautiful lighthouse scene above has inspired me to expand my thinking and try my own hand at creative alterations. TFS, Fran
