Hello creative friends!
Our mood board this month features the new Juicy set of liquid acrylics. As these are very bright and colourful paints, I wanted to create a project where the colour didn't overwhelm the elements on the page and also with a bit of a grungy vibe. I decided to try to create a mixed-media version of a nature illustration from a textbook, with the mould pieces taking the part of the specimen.
Once the elements were assembled, I used splashes of colour over them and also diluted some of the paint with lots of water to imitate watercolour splodges. I highlighted areas with Ink Black to give the impression of pen outlines and added some stamp details to look like areas of writing.
I found that Acid, Cobalt and Indian Pink waxes are a very nice compliment to the paint colours so I used these to add some areas of colour interest.
