Painting With Joint Compound As A Base

The first lesson in Wyanne Thompson's You and Me Painting Big class was about using Lightweight Wallboard Joint Compound as a layer for building texture in your painting. I wanted to try doing a painting of my Billizetti character. (The little guy in my blog header.) I've only done him digitally and wanted to try making a physical copy. This is how it turned out. Crazy but fun! Definitely anime and kawaii style.

Be sure to click the painting to see the larger size where you can see the ridges from the joint compound.

Next Day In Paris

The day here started with snow that has changed to sleet. I thought it would be a good time to think about Paris again.

Life Book 2012 Week 45 - Celebration

I've used my character "Billizetti" in a lot of my digital art. I created many different versions of him using Photoshop. In celebration of reaching November and having done 17 mixed media paintings to put into my Life Book, I painted Billizetti by hand for the first time. It seemed fitting to finally create a mixed media version of him. Yay!

Billizetti says . . .

I'm still feeling lousy with the flu, so I decided it's time to change the cards. (That probably sounds dumb, but after four days of feeling sick to my stomach, I can't take any more! Yuck!)
