ATC Bring on the showgirls


This card is part of a series of 5. Theme: Bring on the showgirls (here's the swap).

The basis is a collage of different magazine pictures with acrylic painton it. On top of this a picture of a lovely, colorfull showgirl. The feathers/skirt of the girl is made of parts of other colourfull pictures. On top of it I drew some golden lines with decorfin relief paint.

This one's also 2,3"x 3,5"

ATC - A splash of purple


This is one from a series of 7 cards. The picture is a bit more blue-ish than the 'real'cards. The theme was: A splash of purple.

The basis are a few layers of acrylic paint, wax color as a resist under the paint, a part of a picture I took from a mural in Amsterdamle golden dot's are also acrylic paint. The white drawing on top is with a water resist fineliner. Next time I will try a white gel pen, because the other fineliner didn't work very long on paint. It quit.

It's a real challenge to work so smalle (2,5" x 3,5" or 6,4 cm x 8,9 cm). Normally I work much larger.

ATC - A case of the blues


From now on I will post in English, since I am joining international Art Swaps.

This is my first Art Trader Card. I made it for a Swap called 'A case of the blues'. I made a series of 5. I kept one.

The basis of this card is artist paper I made for an earlier art-work. It has a lot of layers, all of them aclylic paint. On top of this a picture of a lady, some more paint and Iktense watercolor penils from Derwent (I love those bright colours!).

creatie vanuit frustratie


Gisteren realiseerde ik me dat ik al veel te lang niet meer lekker met kleurtjes heb gespeeld en gecreeerd. Dat schreef ik even lekker van me af. Toen ik dat nog ns goed bekeek op n afstandje bleek t toch weer een soort kunstwerk te hebben opgeleverd :-)
Werd er nog blijer van toen ik tussen alle lijnen een hartje ontdekte
