Checkerboard Flowers in Golden Glitter Background
I made a new painting background for my dolls photoshoot. I have been going through a bit of a golden phase. I started the painting by painting everything in yellow. I mixed yellow acrylics with liquid white gesso. This saved me a couple of steps in the development of this painting. Every so often, I added yellow glitter on top of the wet acrylic. Acrylic is a glue like paint. So, it was easy for the glitter to fussed into the project board. With that done, I painted the sides before painting the middle. I used the color...
Doll Theater Orby Background
I made a new background for Doll Theater. I went for an abstract city feel to it. This wasn’t what I had in mind. It just ended up looking like that. I used a project board to make this painting. I often paint both sides of the project board. It saves me the trouble of buying extra backgrounds. The back part of the project board was brown, and it had writing. So, I had to add a layer of gesso in order to paint on top of it. I colored the white gesso in order to save a couple of...
Art Deco Backgrounds
I made a new background for my Doll theater. I went for an Art Décor feel. I painted the middle yellow and the other sides red and blue. Afterwards, I added some stylized patterns into the mix. I made certain to integrate yellow in both the blue and the red panels. This creates a cohesive look for the background. In the middle, I painted a stylized tree. The tree is inspired on Gustav Klimt’s works. So, if it looks familiar, this is the reason. All in all, it was an interesting effort. The backgrounds are not meant to steal attention...
New Background for Doll Theater: Pink Roses with Black Lines
I made a new background for Doll Theater. This is just what I call my bjd doll photoshoots. I went for a bit of a vogue type of look. I started by making black lines. I used blue tape to make the perfect black lines. I added a bit of a splash spray effect to give if a more galaxy look. When I felt that there was something missing, I added glitter. In the sides, I made some heart shaped glitter patterns. In the middle, I did my palm prints. After removing the tape, it was time to add the...
Neon Dutch Pouring Flower Art
Today, I wanted to show you my latest pouring painting. It was done with neon colors provided by Gencrafts. I am going to post a photo of the acrylic set I used to make the painting. I am a big fan of unconventional colors. I find it boring that paints use traditional colors. I like this set because it has Barbie pink. Getting that nice strong, pink hue is a bit of a bother to mix. So, it is convenient that this set already has the Barbie Pink color already mixed. The first thing I did was prepare my wood...
