Day 18 and My Eleventh Face

Today’s painting was a bit rushed but I finished it!  Phew!  It’s an aceo/atc sized mixed media piece, using tissue paper, gesso, acrylics, Faber Castell gel sticks, the stickered saying and Pitt artist pens. Be Brave by Tori Beveridge  Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 18

Day 17 and A Face

I set aside the watercolors today and reached for my acrylic paint. I was in a floral kind of mood, but I also knew that I am waaayyy behind in my 29 Faces in September. What to do? How about a face peeking out from behind the flowers?  She’s partially hidden, but I think she […]

Day 16 – Two Peas in A Pod

Today, I have something totally different from the last two days to share with you.  My painting was inspired by an art swap that I’m taking part in, and the theme is Food With a Face. I painted two cute little peas in a pod for it.  Although personally, I think these peas are too […]

Day Fifteen – Another ‘Drippy’ Watercolor Face

Yes, another watercolor face today.  I had to do one more, because yesterday’s was so enjoyable for me to paint.  I was definitely much more relaxed while painting this one. She marks the half way point in Thirty Paintings in 30 Days and my ninth face for 29 Faces in September 2014. Another Face by […]

Day Fourteen is My Eighth Face

Today’s painting found me playing with watercolors again.  I think I’m actually getting more comfortable with letting the paint drip and run and blend  and do it’s own thing, very difficult for a stay within the lines type like me. A Face by Tori Beveridge I would like to do a few more similar, so […]

Day Thirteen of Thirty Paintings in 30 Days

I think I spent more time trying to fix scans and photos of this than it actually took to paint.  I finally decided on this scan and it still doesn’t do it justice.  It’s much prettier up close and personal. Let Your Art Blossom by Tori Beveridge Mixed media on 4×6 140lb cold press watercolor […]

Day Twelve of Thirty and a Seventh Face

I kept it simple today, with this postcard sized mixed media, watercolor, acrylic and ink portrait. Wonder by Tori Beveridge I stamped over the first coat, then used a brayer to cover the whole thing with white acrylic, then I went back in and repainted.  The word, wonder, was then added and I detailed with […]

Meet The Enchanted Visions Artist – Isabelle Dumont

Today I am interviewing the ninth Enchanted Visions Artist.  It is my pleasure to introduce  Isabelle Dumont One of Isabelle Dumont’s pet rats. Who is, “Isabelle Dumont”?  Tell us a little about yourself. This lovely year, I am turning 30, though I feel horribly old by now. I´m a very awkward person, really, and I […]

Day 11 of Thirty in Thirty and a Sixth Face

I have two very contrasting pieces of art for you today, a digital piece and a watercolor piece.  Warrior Princess is a digital piece, done in Poser, Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop.  She is my sixth face for 29 Faces in September 2014 and is also my artwork for this month’s Enchanted Visions theme of […]

Day 10 – Thirty Paintings in 30 Days and Face 5

So far, so good!  I’m ten for ten! I am, however, a little behind in my 29 Faces, so today’s painting, I knew had to be a face. I used another advertising magnet as my canvas.  As before, I applied a layer of gesso first and then got out my acrylics and painted this cute […]

Day Nine – Thirty Paintings in 30 Days

Another mixed media piece.  It’s 9 x 12, and started with lots of collage, which I then painted over using watercolor, acrylic, FC Gel Sticks and ink. Bubble Dreamer Photo of Bubble Dreamer by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 9
