Artwork:
This week I was busy painting something that could be used as a raffle
prize at a street stall that our school P&C held as a fundraiser. Everybody
was so nice and supported us! Our stall was very successful! And this
raffle-prize painting will be delivered to its new owner this morning.
This is a REALLY easy design, and I used a plywood panel for it, because the plywood colour looks so NICE poking through.
The inspiration for this painting came from looking at my friend Paula’s tray of pastels – and she has a beautiful collection!
The process for painting was very simple. Firstly I made a template out
of cardboard to get the shapes all looking pretty similar. I drew all the
rectangles on using this template (and moved it around a bit, orientation wise
so the shapes all looked a little different).
I used the colour Dulux Grid as my
background, and painted that in first, then left it to dry.
Then I simply added each colour as I went. I
left an ‘outline’ of plywood on each of the rectangles.
I added a hanger to the back of the plywood panel, and then (once dry)
it was ready to go!
Happy painting at your house!
