I'm also making gelatin prints so I wanted to combine the two.<br />
<br />
Here are two I just made last night and today.<br />

They are oil pastel and graphite over a gelatin print. Then the pastel is pushed around with q-tips covered in mineral oil (or baby oil). I really like the way they are coming out.<br />

I made 20 before my back gave out. Maybe my notes will help someone else, so I'll try to explain what I did as I went along. Savvy?<br />

This was my first print. The only purpose was to get the feel of rolling the paint onto the plate. Of course I will save it for future uses, like a background page for an art journal. I only used 3 colors of craft paint for all of today's prints. I didn't want to be overwhelmed by too many color choices.</div>

So now that I had the hang of it, it was time to have some fun. See the fine scratches? Those are caused by the edges of my small brayer digging in. That is not the ideal thing but I couldn't seem to prevent it. Next time I'll buy the larger brayer.</div>

I like that the yarn I used left it's own print in the middle of the white edges. The first time I tried yarn it worked great and stayed where I put it. I could not duplicate this effect in future tries.</div>

Once I put the prints on my computer and could do some editing I discovered a happy accident. This print had a theme of purple hearts. Imagine my surprise when I realized during computer editing that there was a big accidental purple heart in the center. So this became my new favorite print (see above). The border of tiny hearts was made with a heart shaped hole punch on a piece of paper. The big faint heart in the upper right was a foam stamp I cut with scissors. The other hearts were made with a tiny heart shaped eraser used like a rubber stamp.</div>

I wanted to make an elephant to pay homage to the elephant on the cover of my Gelli printing book because I'd never heard of<br />
Gelli printing before I bought that book. I cut the elephant out of a piece of paper and used it as a mask on the clean plate. Then I carefully rolled ink over it. Sadly I missed the tail on the first print (see above). The elephant's eye was made on the paper with a heart shaped hole punch. The odd circle above the elephant is a wee bit of gelatin that tore off the edge.</td></tr>

I had cut the ankh out of textured foam. I tried to stamp it onto the wet paint but it didn't work well.<br />

This time I cleaned a spot on the plate with a wipe, rolled ink on the ankh and used it as a stamp.<br />

All in all I learned a lot today. Since this is ultimately for mixed media projects there will be at least one more layer of art over each one or maybe more. I will keep two for framing just as they are I think: The Accidental Heart and the Elephant in the Jungle. Always wise to keep samples of one's first efforts don't you think?

I'm going through a birds and feathers phase. Spring has come to the desert. I drew this bird yesterday while having lunch at Cafe 247 in Lucerne Valley, CA. The feathers I drew a few months ago. I can't remember if I posted them already or not. I'm looking forward to drawing something else today.

Ever since I moved to the desert, I miss the beach terribly.
So it keeps wending its way into my artwork. Today's watercolor and pen and ink painting started as a wood nymph and morphed into a girl standing in the ocean. Weird how my subconscious mind takes over sometimes. </div>

I also got photos of yesterday's 'What the Bleep Do We Know' painting. I really like it. I had in mind what kind of art journal painting I'd do if I only had a big enough art journal. Just imagine it in a journal.The dots represent the chakrahs. The snake represents the Kudalini energy and regeneration. </div>

I am almost done, but I didn't take photos of most of it yet. I got so into it, I forgot. But I'll share the photos I took so far.<br />
<br />
It is a metaphysical painting based on the film What The Bleep Do We Know. It has the chakra circles, some sayings inspired by the movie and a serious looking girl. The paint is opaque watercolors. The blue tape is to keep the watercolor under control and I've already removed it. <br />

I've been spending so much time on crafts and very little on fine art. For the show I finished an assemblage I'd started a long time ago. I had painted 2 frames black way back when and figured out the elements for the first assemblage. So I finished that one, and then I made another one with a dried apple head I'd just finished. At the art show the assemblages are one thing that stopped people in their tracks, rather than just walking past another landscape.<br />

This is my first one. Feel free to put it on Facebook or Pinterest as long as my copyright stays intact.<br />
<br />

I want to make new monoprints. Here are some I already made years ago. Paper is
fragile and many of these got lost or damaged over the years. At least I

I spent today working on a new painting. You can see from the top down the different stages it went through. It's acrylic on Bristol stock. I was painting outdoors, which has the best light, and about sunset I had to quit for the day because I couldn't see the colors as well. Mostly I just have more of the aqua background to do.<br />
<br />
I hope to turn this design into fabric and then cut it all apart for A.C.E.O.'s. Of course if someone wants to buy it before I cut it apart, they better speak up fast.Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740739.post-9963642877500017402012-05-18T14:50:00.001-07:002012-05-18T14:53:55.884-07:00Words of Wisdom<br />

For Mother's Day I gave this angel painting I did to my boyfriend's mother. She seemed happy enough to get it and found a spot for it in her bedroom. It's acrylics done in a folk art style.Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740739.post-17210701898833005672012-05-11T15:59:00.000-07:002012-05-11T15:59:04.694-07:00Illustrating Children's BooksWhen I was younger I wanted to be a children's book illustrator. That never happened, but the interest never went away. So when I found this awesome book on the topic at the library I grabbed it. If you ever get the chance to buy a copy, do it. I would like one for my permanent collection. It's called Illustrating Children's Books Creating Pictures for Publication. Click on the photo to see the larger size.<br />

So tonight it was really surprising that I chose to draw a mermaid with my new mechanical pencils from Target. Twelve for a dollar, can't really go wrong there. And the eraser works good. The sketchbook also came from a dollar store.
<P>When I was doing caricaturing, I loved to draw my subjects with mermaid bodies. My weakest area was sports. I could never quite remember how to draw a soccer ball or a basketball. I really should round up some kids and get back into caricaturing. I want to show you the mermaid here but she's topless and I don't want to offend anyone. We'll see. I don't really want to put a black rectangle over her torso either.Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740739.post-55443100564882610332012-02-23T11:30:00.001-08:002012-02-23T11:30:52.938-08:00Drawing tutorials?A while back I was thinking of making some drawing tutorials. And then I got busy and it slipped my mind. But someone just commented on one of my articles that I should do tutorials so people could learn to draw the things I'd done. I'm surprised no one has asked me before but I'm definitely considering it now. I was watching a cartooning show yesterday on TV and I couldn't help thinking, 'I could do that.' We'll see.<br />

Today I needed to cut two pieces of mat board for my square foot paintings. So I carefully measured my mat board using a 12" x 12" blank canvas board for my template. Remember, the window in the mat board must be slightly smaller than the piece of art, so it doesn't fall out of the frame. Well, I knew this of course and measured very carefully. And that black mat fit that 12" x 12" board perfectly. So I went ahead and used the same measurements for the gray mat board. <br />
<br />
The problem came when I took my painting, and laid the mat board on top of it. I had forgotten that every painting has a 1/2" white strip around it from the tape. So now, a smidgen of that white margin shows no matter how I place the mat board. It's things like this that make me want to run screaming into the night.<br />

I picked up the easel to put it away and the painting fell face up on the grass. So I lunged for it and bumped the folding table. The palette fell off on top of the painting jelly side down. Oops. I wiped it off the best I could. I think I can save it. We'll see.<br />

I'm going to have to abandon the project. The rest of my life is becoming unhinged because I'm behind on so many things, and now it looks like we may have to move. I can barely keep up with the daily paintings in a stable environment. And I want to finish all the paintings I started on my trip, some of which I'll show down below.<br />

They looked a little lonely so I added the lilacs.<br />
<br />
Yesterday's painting was a mixed media affair with Darwin from a PBS special I was watching at the time. <br />

The right side Italian cypress tree was leaning too much. I made some other minor improvements as well.<br />
Then it was on to today's painting. I bought some of these strange ornamental gourds to paint before going on my trip, and sadly, one of them was already moldy. So I tossed it and figured I'd better paint them today before the other ones get soft. It was more challenging than I thought. And I had a brown background which just wasn't doing a thing for me so I repainted it blue and white. When it's light out again I'll have to do some minor fixing, but it's as done as it's going to get tonight.<br />

This was a collection of images I saw between Simi Valley and Chatsworth. I used the sketch to make this painting tonight. And once again, cypress trees show up in my art.<br />

Circumstances did not allow me to finish any of them, so I have my work cut out for me this week. I postponed my Etsy shop opening until Dec. 15. 2011 so that I could get more descriptions written. I really need to get a laptop so I don't get behind on work when I'm traveling. My family just doesn't understand that I need at least 3 hours a day on the computer, not the 3 minutes they were allowing me while visiting them. I think I got photos of all the paintings except the one I did late last night. I haven't had time to start a painting today yet.Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740739.post-90045671250557801522011-11-30T20:42:00.000-08:002011-11-30T22:24:27.286-08:00Painting With Strange Shapes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvh0L_ac7OyTO7eRgGCqS4DABHx7LIBj-2bmJ_TKj0tz7zwGTcqMvcG6Io4wTEkfWUd11kEPLRjYB5Zqbdq_t0zsSbN8qPyy2CREv5j3jviEnLJxJrr4OjBEJC0RpBPuM05AjoLQ/s1600/paintingshapessfp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvh0L_ac7OyTO7eRgGCqS4DABHx7LIBj-2bmJ_TKj0tz7zwGTcqMvcG6Io4wTEkfWUd11kEPLRjYB5Zqbdq_t0zsSbN8qPyy2CREv5j3jviEnLJxJrr4OjBEJC0RpBPuM05AjoLQ/s320/paintingshapessfp.jpg" width="294" /></a></div>I have spent many hours today on a painting that is still not finished. My hands, however, are finished, as well as my shoulders. Time to give it a rest. Sometimes it may not be possible to finish an entire painting in one day. I just have to accept that and not beat myself up for it, right?<br />
<br />
And tomorrow I'm going out of town. I'll take my paints and stuff with me, but I won't be posting them until I get home in a few days.Fayme Zelena Harperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01438019336287576300noreply@blogger.com0
