As a narrative artist my work is about visual storytelling. I often add words to my art as a background or an accent. It may be
handwriting, collaged words or dimensional words either store bought or
made with Creative Paperclay®. Using it as a sweet spot in a painting, I
find it is a great element for drawing the viewer into the art. These
samples are details from three separate paintings I added it to.
Supplies:
Creative Paperclay®
Alphabet stamps, texture plates
Paint
So
easy — the clay was applied to the art and stamped. When clay was dry, I
added a burnt umber or red oxide acrylic paint then applied a gold rub
when the paint had dried.
As always, thanks and dream in color! — Darlene Olivia McElroy
