Another Dancer on the Page

Dancing Dancer

It's fun to add the dancer to different backgrounds.

The texture piece is lots of pieces of paper stacked and glued

 and more

stacking and gluing.

(One way to use up old newspapers)

Then they were primed with white and

then painted into their purple-black final color.

Lots of color changes in between along

with wiping and blotting to get variations in the color.

I laid that textured squares piece onto

the dark blue spattered paper first but it was just too dark.

 I added the lighter

rose colored pieces to create some contrast.

It's an interesting piece of texture without the dancer but

the dancer on the page

is my repeating theme.

Look Around

Boxes to recycle into a "canvas"

Use paper mache to connect together. Notice newspaper on edge and back side

Three boxes put together with paper mache

Priming with gesso

The primed boxes ready for more painting

Adding a mix of red and black that became much more black than red

3 boxes as the canvas...... now painted black with some gold highlights
