Llama in Mixed Media Finished!
Hello Friends!
Yesterday I outlined my llma onto my Washi Tape-covered canvas and painted the background.
First, I mixed the Golden’s Hansa Yellow Light paint with white and some glazing medium and painted the acrylics over the background, but the color was too light. So I mixed the yellow with my new Golden’s Phthalo Green (Yellow Shade) acrylic paint and glazing medium to get a bright green.
Next I used the Phthalo Green at full strength to go over most of it so the darker background would make the llama look more silhouetted. Lastly, I added some flowers.
I like the way it turned out. I plan to do a couple more but in a different way this time. I don’t want to cover the whole canvas with Washi Tape again; it took too long! And I may do other animals. I already have some ideas brewing for more silhouettes.
Have a wonderful day and give someone you love a big hug! 😀
