Day 27. Painting a Background

Hello Friends! Welcome to Day 27. How was your weekend? It was sooo hot for us East Coasters!

This is a big background stamp with such beautiful “Loosely Line Flowers” from My Favorite Things. Such a beautiful background stamp to get inky with, paint or color.

This pretty palette is from Sylvan Clayworks and I love using it because it’s just the right size. I drop in the color that I will be using to paint my background.

Working in sections I paint the background. I am very careful for the brush to touch each line of the section I am painting for a polished look.

Painting around the stamen can be loose and doesn’t have to be precise.

Once the background was completely dry I outlined the stamen with a marker.

Using a grey Karin marker I added some highlights. That’s it for today and I am looking forward to finishing this up tomorrow. Stay tuned for another giveaway. Hugs, Kathy

    Beautiful! I’ve been wanting to give background painting a try, and you’ve inspired me (although I think I’ll avoid images with stamens!). I feel your pain with the heat. It’s been pretty brutal here in Texas, too (the humidity is suffocating). Hopefully relief is coming soon.

    Stunning at even half way. I was umming & arrhing what this stamp might look like myself but thanks to you I now know it’s beautiful. Look forward to seeing the final.show piece. Today I’ve just collected together all the inks, paints, paper, brushes, markers etc that I’m going to need to completely from let’s a piece my daughter has requested. Still not finished my rainbow background you inspired me to try, maybe by the time you do challenge 40 I might finish it lol. Do you or anyone you know ever put together a list of projects to finish or is it just me ? Stay healthy and happy colouring x

    Very pretty background. I can’t wait to see the finished piece. And yes it was toasty here over the weekend. Monday was crazy hot.
