Hard to believe we are already at week 4 and here is the Ice Cream inspiration for this week for
Summer of Colour ....
Strawberry Lemonade.
Never had this flavour but I bet it is yummy. That lemonade screams lush at me.
And here I have made 2 girls enjoying these 2 wonderful colours together, yellow and pink. When I was blending the colours together on my paper they sort of created a bit of an orange in places but I left it to add interest and a bit more splash of colour. I didn't go with a pale palette here, I chose bright bold colour and I do really like it.
I have a little chipboard journal all ready to put my Ice Cream girls in so will be working on that after the challenge to gesso and prep the chipboard a bit.
Here I used all acrylics and drew my own faces because I am really loving my Suzi Blu inspired girls. I just did a bit of stencilling on the background, it needed something and I used my homemade texture paste and you can find the tutorial here for it. Someone asked me if it lasts very long and I can tell you I made it a week ago and it is still pliable and I did have to add a drop or two of water but it is just fine.
And you think this week was fun....I can't wait for next week, I am crazy about this Ice Cream Inspiration for week 5....take a peek, doesn't it scream at you.....I could stare at these colours all day....
Wild and Reckless Sherbet......look at that turqouise, pink and lime colour, I even see bits of purple....
Thank you so much for dropping by and if you have a bit of spare time go take a peek at the links provided over at Kristin, our gracious hostess for this challenge, blog to see some amazing art and crafts inspired by these wonderful Ice Cream colours.
Til next time....have an ice cream and be creative.

ReplyDeleteThese two are so adorable...what do you use for the faces? i find it really hard to get a smooth skin texture and colour...xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Mandy, well I used acrylics on these faces, and used a large brush to shade, I use a wash brush which is quite a bit larger than a 12 flat shader. I am an acrylic painter from way back. LOL
