Paper-cut art to decorate my white walls :-) September 2016

[chemsi-blog]

This is my first work created during an art club meeting!! Drawin' on the Lawn was a huge hit- everyone involved was wonderful company, and we had a great time creating together!! I'm excited to see what we do next!!

A quick painting of my favorite flowers, done with help from my new mediums❤️ I didn’t go too crazy with them cuz I’m not sure yet “how much is too much”- and I like to conserve. But a little texture can go a long way.

Looks great. Don’t forget a varnish on top.

[chemsi-blog]

Thank you so much! I’ve never used a varnish… Do you have any recommendations?

[peace4allofus-blog]

Crystal clear by krylon is really the best. Oils or acrylic?

[chemsi-blog]

Ty, I'll check it out. Does that work for both mediums? This is acrylic, but I'd love to try painting with oils eventually.

A place of my childhood.. The aging rock steps alongside my grandma's home. Painted in open air while chatting with my sister.

I finally caved and invested in the sample box of Golden acrylic mediums... Here's a chart I made to explore each of them :-)

"Fly Aways"… Oil pastel For some reason this is kinda popular amongst the FB crowd… Which I kinda expected, Cuz this is standard cutesy and rainbow flower butterfly vom … Ergh I don’t really like it though. I didn’t put soul into it. But I guess people don’t care about that 😅

What I was thinking while I was working this was how my elementary school put in a butterfly garden when I was maybe 7 y/o.. The bricks were laid in the shape of a butterfly and there were specific flowers which were planted to attract butterflies. I guess that's a little soul. At least it has a story

This is a self portrait paper cut I finished recently. I was really inspired to work with paper after I learned about polish paper cutting a few years back... My polish heritage is something I'm proud of. I think this turned out very nice 😊
