Hello and welcome to my final day of Growing in Unity. It's been a fun week of sharing my projects with you all. I am hoping at the least to inspire one person to try something new or just go get messy and create and let your creativity flow.
Sometimes creating with different emotions can bring amazing things. I have come up with some great things when I'm sad. Beauty comes from everywhere and every feeling.
So today my project uses the word Inspire. And I hope I have inspired you.
I had a lot of fun playing with my tags from yesterday that I decided to play on a couple different canvases to see what I would come up with.
I started out by using Gesso so the color burst wouldn't just soak into the canvas. After that was dry. I started playing with the same colors as yesterday. Using my heat tool in between to get the darker areas. On the first one, I attached the stencil "Inspire" to the canvas before I sprayed. I actually thought it would cover the area and come out as the background color, but to my surprise it all gathered underneath. I used my heat tool very carefully as to not melt the stencil to dry the color underneath. Happy lil accident. I loved how it turned out. After everything was almost dry I removed the stencil and dried it the rest of the way. I just kept playing until I liked the background. I then took the same stmp with the leaves and painted them carefully to only get the leaf and stamped it until I was happy.
The second canvas I did at the same time. Only added the stencil at the end and highlighted it with a reg. Pen. Then I went back over both with a gel pen and a paint pen to highlight the word. I purposely wanted it to fade into the background. So make sure you click on the image to get a good look at it if on your phone.
I hope you liked my projects this week and it is always sad when the GIU week is over. Remember to comment on all of my posts this week for a chance to win some amazing Unity!!!! I will pick my winners at the beginning of the week and post them here and on the GIU post.
Have a great day
Hugs
