I had no good feelings about the background.After a few days I took my stencils and used red, blue and purple acrylic paint. For the butterfly and circles I used stencils with instant filler.

I followed an online workshop of Suzanne Haring on the facebookgroup Petra's World of Art Dutch.

Jane Davenport

I think Jane Davenport is a great artist.

This painting was made to a preview of her.

Different girls and backgrounds

I worked on different girls  and used different materials.

The hair of this girl was painted with Amsterdam paint. I used stencils for the background.

For the background of this girl I used gelatos.

for this background I used aquarel paint but didnot dilute it and wiped it out with my fingers.

I worked with instant filler on stencils.

Art journaling - every day has a magic moment

Every day has a magic moment, it helps us to change and let us follow our dreams.

Mixed media painting - Dove

I made this mm painting for my husband. He has doves so there had to be a dove on the painting. I found the dove on internet and printed it.

The background is neocolors II and I used paint dabbers and acrylic paint for the stencils.

Inspired bij Nika Rouss

For this mixed media painting I was inspired by a Youtube film of Nika Rouss.

Take a look on her website

Take a look on her facebookpage

Miranda's Mixed Media Stuff

en nog een meisje/ and an other girl

Still practicing girls.

Different faces, different hair and different backgrounds.

color girl

I really love all those colors on this painting.

I used aquarel paint for the background and acrylic paint for the girl.

I created the circles with a stencil and I used a few stamps.

my next girl

Again I worked with aquarel paint for the background and acrylic paint for the girl. Bubble plastic for the dots.

She is imperfect, but I think she is fantastic!

another imperfect girl

Practice, practice and practice!!

I love these imperfect girls.

I find it very difficult to get the right colors for the face.

Art Journal

For the left page I used a workshop of Trees de Vrieze from my facebookgroup Petra's World of Art Dutch

and for the right page I worked after an example of Tamara Laporte http://www.willowing.org/, she really is my favorite mixed media artist. I used acrylic paint and gelatos.

gypsy girl

Background = watercolors

girl = acrylic paint

I was inspired by a painting from Tamara Laporte of a gypsy girl.
I worked a little bit transparant so you can see the background trough the painting.
