Jane suggested doing some studies to see how different patterns work together. The green series was what I did this morning. The stamps used were handmade line stamp, 2 different-size box lids, a couple of handmade circle and square stamps, top of Distress paint dabber, and pencil eraser. Against a background of Golden's green/gold, cobalt blue, sometimes mixed with titanium white. Other colors for stamping included pthalo blue, paint dabbers in Distress sapphire and mustard seed, and Basic's crimson red.
The following is the blue series, done this afternoon. Painted with light ultramarine blue and cobalt blue backgrounds. Stamping with white, cobalt blue, green gold and green gold mixed w/white. Introduced the corrugated card and triangle handmade stamps.
Not sure what I think of them, but both studies were very relaxing and fun to do. They were small, at 5 x 5, so less opportunity to get lost in too much confusing detail.
