​A Splash of Colour

This month i decided to sit down with my daughter and create an artwork with her input. Khloe picked the colours, the embellishments and helped with the creative process.

As we were having so much fun i totally forgot to take process pictures at the beginning. We started by gluing down a combination of plasters tape, old jewellery, torn fabric, doileys, resins and beads. We then covered the whole piece with a good layer of white gesso. 

We started using color splash as a base. (little birdie - Berry Blast, Colour Blast - Sapphire).
Khloe had so much fun spraying and dripping paint. I used a wet soft brush to help move the colour around, blending where needed.

We then used a combination of lindy's sprays. We used (Alpine Ice Rose, Treasure Island Aqua, Tawny Turquoise, Crows Nest Copper, Autumn Maple Crimson). This was super fun. I had to remind Khloe a few times that a little goes a long way. After we were happy with the way it looked i showed her Finnabair wax. I did this part using a soft brush. I used a combination of (Indian pink, Electric Violet, Peacock). We also added a little glitter.

Thank you so much for viewing my blog. Creating art with my daughter was incredible, for both of us. The pictures don't show up how it shimmers and shines, plus its a lot brighter in real life
