🎕💜Blooming Ideas Denim Jacket💜🎕

Hello again, Patti here to share my hand painted denim jacket.

For this project I used: 

• ArtFoamies:
• Heartful By Gale Nation
  
• Daisy by Red Tin Roof 
• Three Leaves Set by Kae Pea
  
• Florally by Kae Pea
  
• Rose by Red Tin Roof
  
• Daffodil by Red Tin Roof
  
• Floral Crown by Kae Pea
  
• Golden GAC 900
• Golden Acrylics in Titanium White, Chromium Oxide Green, and Phthalo Green
• Liquitex acrylic in Medium Magenta
• Winsor & Newton acrylic in Permanent Green Light
• Amsterdam acrylics in Azo Yellow Medium and Pyrrole Red
• Arteza acrylic in Ultramarine Blue
• Round brushes in 3, 5, and 8
• Paint palette
• 6 x 8 Stamp Buddy
  
• Denim jacket
• Newsprint
• Iron

Step 1:

To begin this project I stamped my images onto newsprint and cut them out so I could play with the design and placement on the jacket.

Step 2:

Once I had finalized my design placement, I took a picture and printed the picture out so I could remember where I had placed the images.

Step 3:

I mixed the Titanium White paint with the GAC according to directions. Then I put a generous amount of the paint mixture onto my stamp buddy. 

Step 4:

I stamped the images on my jacket using the stamp buddy and paint mixture.

 

Step 5:

I let the paint dry thoroughly, and then heat set it with my iron.

Step 6:

I started to paint in the colors, deciding along the way which colors I wanted where. 

Step 7:

Once all the paint on the jacket was completely dry, I again heat set with my iron, and my jacket was complete!

💜🎕Thank you so much for following along !🎕💜

Love and Laughter,

Patti

"Three Horses in a Corner" Acrylic painting by Teresa Cox Kolar of Sweet Mare Studio

Hello Fellow Creative Ones! :-D

 This is Teresa Cox Kolar of Sweet Mare Studio 

and I am truly pleased and honored to 

return to the RubberMoon blog as a guest artist.

My last post was in February. It is exciting to be back for a visit! 

Today I will show you how to create the painting below 

"Three Horses In A Corner."

"There Horses In A Corner"

Acrylic painting

1.Your Painting Surface

 You will need a 12x12 inch artist panel, 3/4" deep 

or any other size you might prefer.

This panel is made by Ampersand and is wonderful

 to work on as it is a hard surface, perfect for stenciling. 

I also enjoy the texture as it so closely resembles real canvas. 

Cloth-like texture on a super sturdy surface-perfect!

2. Your Under Painting

For this step you will need the following acrylic paints and one brush:

Burnt Sienna

Manganese Blue Hue

Naples Yellow Hue

Wide, flat, scrubby, inexpensive paint brush

The brands I use are Golden and Liquitex. 

Other brands should work just fine too.

3. The Final Details

Various handmade stencils. I have drawn

 and cut out  my own stencils in the 

shapes of a horse, bird, oval.

Feel free to create any designs that you prefer.

For my stencils I used a manila folder. For the smaller white circles

I used the RubberMoon Organic Circle Stamp #TK6F. For the triangle designs I used the stencil shown. I found it at Michael's Art Store.

Paint colors for these final detail were Burnt Sienna, Gray, Blue Gray, White and Cobalt Turquoise.

VOILA!!
