This was done using acrylic paints, the sailboat is a novelty fabric that I cut out and will be gluing on, right now it is just wet and stuck down for picture taking purposes..lol I did it on poster board since that is all I had available.I started off finger painting, as you might be able to tell by the sky, all the movement in the water was mostly done with fingers too, also a thin brush, a toothpick and a Q-tip, as I added the motion strokes I smudged them a bit with my fingers too. Still want to add some small things to this, but didn't have any glue so will wait.
The poster board leaves a LOT to be desired so this one will have to be framed for sure.
Over all though I am pretty happy with this!
Very nice colors and lots of movement in the water. Did you have any trouble with the poster board warping?

Kay, When it dried it just curves a little, nothing a frame won't fix. Of course it was hard to work with the acrylics because I didn't use a lot of water and the poster board just sucked it right up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Kathy, and I might return it to you, you also have many talents. Both artistic and others!
I love the creativity in using fabric for the sails. The movement in the water and the sky is very effective. Poster board is a good idea for the canvas. - Terry in Maple Ridge, B.C.
