Coaster Art

Still working on the the smaller pieces of art on coasters that enable you to try out an idea and then work on it in a larger scale if you like the results.   For this miniture piece I had done a sketch of Cameron Diaz many years ago.  For this piece I scanned in the image and reduced the size to fit on a coster 9cm x 9cm which had been layed with paints and background paper

This is the young lady that began to emerge, she has a scerene look about her but she still wasn't finished.

 

For the next image I lay down some background papers and paint and did a faint outline with charcoal

Adding some more layers of paint to try and define the face a bit more

 

will probably add some embellishments to this

Little bits - Mysteles Creative Hub

I have been playing around in Mysteles Community Hub and decided to do some smaller pieces of work 

This is an old childs' jigsaw that I applied gesso to and then laid out some background papers and paint.

This young lady emerged and not sure what story she has to tell just yet.

 She is an artist, and loves expressing her creativity.  She is confident and she loves wearing flowers in her hair!

This next one was done on a coaster 9cm x 9cm

The face came from another picture I had drawn, photocopied and printed off.  I applied gesso and started to bring some character out of her.

At first she couldn't decide if she wanted short or long hair

In the end we both agreed that a nice bob would suit her

Here she is with her bejewelled flower in her hair and a few homemade embellishments.  

It's great to work on these smaller pieces, especially when you want to be creative but have little time.  They also use up bits and pieces you might have laying around.  I will be doing more of these on a regular basis and sharing some of the results.
