Paint Party Friday – Page 2

Day 26 and Face Number Sixteen

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

Day 19 Another Face

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. […]

The word, wonder, was then added and I detailed with […]

A Tag and A Pear

For the longest time, my acrylics have been sitting and collecting dust… well all except my white, I use my white ALOT. I did a little ATC sized practice pear, and a tag for an exchange I’m taking part in Something tells me that white is no longer going to be the only acrylic paint […]
