I am taking part in a really cool art trade. I am part of a group of four people. Each of us creates two left sides of a face and two right sides of a face, and then mails three away. Everyone will eventually end up with two rights and two lefts again and it […]
Day twenty seven is almost at an end. It was a busy day but also very fun, because this weekend is Ellen Million Graphics Sketch Fest. As always, there were so many prompts to create from, it almost makes it hard to decide, but two stood out for me, Sugar Skull Fairy (prompt from Tara […]
This is a mixed media piece. I used watercolor, acrylic, collaged elements, stencils and ink. I’m really happy with the way it turned out. You Are A Gift by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 26
September is almost over. Halloween will be here before we know it. I’m getting in the spirit early with this Little Witch. Little Witch by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 25
My painting today is another atc/aceo and was done with watercolor, white acrylic and black ink. Thoughts by Tori Beveridge Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 24
Today’s painting started as another exercise in putting splotches of watercolor on the paper, then seeing what emerged once it dried. I started with the purple and the peach and the blue came after I saw her face emerge, to give her a hat and a dress. Details such as eyes, mouth and nostrils were […]
I just finished this painting. It’s still wet. It will look much different in the morning when it’s dry. It’s actually the second painting I did today. The first was a watercolor and it was really really really bad. I debated about posting it, but I decided that it really was too horrible to post. […]
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
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
