#painted paper

This was fun to make! I've been thinking of pushing myself again and playing around with analog art and collages in my sketchbook, so I made this style exercise for a potential comic of Alastor dancing to some good Jazz

I made use of drawings I made on paper that I then copied with my printer to make all those trumpets - I like that effect a lot! Also I used painted paper that I cut out to make those panels, Alastor's pink outline, and his pink silhouette suit - works really nice and I love those saturated colours! I'll put some photos showing my progress for those who like that sort of thing under the cut

Okay, so I am sticking to my plan and going to keep posting these last few projects of 2020! I am thrilled to know that I was so prolific in just a few months! I always did work well under pressure. For a video of this bad boy and some more pics, check out the original Instagram post!

This particular post speaks for itself...I went out on a gloomy October day, a few days before Halloween, I think, and made a really, really big painting! I rolled out some white paper, from the steps to the street and just went for it. I had a blast pouring, splattering, dripping, and using all the biggest house paintbrushes I could find. The mission was simple: paint the paper, then cut it down into smaller sections, then cut those sections into pieces that were more manageable in the house or at my desk. I used this paper for ATCs, postcards, some sketchbook pages, mail art, and BJR Paper Packs! I actually still have almost HALF of the scroll (cut down) and I’m going to treasure it for a while until I need some rainbow paper.

I would love to do this again but I would change a few things. It might be nice to gesso or paint the surface with white next time for a more painterly effect (and much thicker paper!) Although, I did love the final thickness and texture the dried paper had. I also think that I need to work on a sunnier day because it took forever to dry. Even though I didn't get rained on, it was so cloudy and damp out that I had to take all the sections into the house and put the heat gun on them for a little while. I also think I would like to do some monochromatic pieces. I think with sections full of one saturated color, I might be able to make some really nice, dynamic backgrounds that would be ready or re-working later on. Definitely one of my favorite projects for prep of 2020. Painting outside is hard in the city, but if you are in the country you can use your yard, or if you are in the burbs, you usually have access to a garage, shed, or small front yard! I have never been so happy for a sidewalk and nosy neighbors. 🤣

I made some more paper, and decided to make a TFA image to accompany my TLJ one. Here’s hoping that, a few months from now, I’ll get to make that TROS kiss happen in this style. As before, this is acrylic painted on tissue paper, line art in Illustrator, color/contrast adjusting in Photoshop.
