Watercolor Autumn Landscape

(c) M Pruitt 2008

This my newest ACEO, "Autum Landscape 1". It is painted with watercolor on 140lb cold press.

Several special techniques were used in this watercolor landscape.

First, I used wet in wet to create the furthest trees. While the sky was still damp, I began painting the trees - delicately touching the brush to the paper so that the watercolor would spread in the shape of trees. I did several layers, with darker color, and then, while still wet, I used the tip of a pocket knife to carefully scratch in some tree trunks. This allowed the paint to settle in the scratches, making the tree trunks a bit darker.

After the background trees were completely dried, I complimented the darker scratched tree trunks with thinly painted trees using Daniel Smiths "Buff Titanium". It is a semi-transparent watercolor and added another layer to the trees for depth.

Another fun technique I used in this painting is a "Cheap Joe's" spatter screen. Spatters can be achieved in a variety of ways, but I really like this spatter screen. I used a variety of colors for my spatter and my rigger brush to turn some of it into grass blades!

Here's another landscape I painted yesterday - "Autumn Landscape 2". Both ACEO's are available in my Etsy store - TheCreatorsPalette - click here.

experimenting again, new card with clear tissue

I have been experimenting again. This time with some clear tissue paper I found at dollar tree. It has white flowers outlined on a clear background. I cut it out to fit the card and put one hand painted goddess behind it and one in front. Added Swarovski crystals to give it some dimension and here it is, a bounty card to answer my challenge of a goddess.

Sorry I should have posted the image

here is a new card that used embossing

Here is an interesting card called DREAM. I am using some embossed materials which makes for an interesting card.

"Keep it simple"
Is what my Husband tells me constantly!
I worked so hard on this design. Starting with the digitally painted legs,hand and neck. That alone took me three days to complete. Redefining her dress and all it's little creases took even more time..Not to mention the socks and little black patent leather shoes. Then there was all the embellishments that I added. The little diamonds placed on her shoes,brooch,necklace and sweet delicate bracelet were all custom to fit her sweet little body! lol Hard work "YES" it was but I always learn a little more each time. Patience it truly a virtue with this form of art. Then hubby steps in and says .....
"Why do you add all that clutter, I like it when it was just her and the Kitty!"
So guess what ? There are two versions of this design. There is my favorite and also hubby's too!

Christmas In July...

...has led to me making some Yuletide ACEOs to sell in the sale section in my shop. For the first time, I'm using recycled materials in some of these pieces, mostly old Christmas cards, but there are some 3D pieces, like game markers, in some of them. I thought that it might be fun to poke a little gentle fun at the season, given that it's the middle of summer... hence the two cards shown here, one about turkeys, and the other, Kitty Christmas. Both are available in my artmixter etsy shop, along with other bargains! Why not pop in and have some fun!

I just listed this beautiful ACEO card in my Etsy shop!
I hope you enjoy it!
