September challenge - moodboard


This month challenge is about black and white.






You can create anything you want - a tag, a layout, a card, an off-the-page project, a card, an ATC, an art-journal spread, a canvas and many more - just be inspired by our quote and put our challenge banner in your blogpost showing your entry. 

 Here is an inspiration delivered by our fabulous team: 




Hi!!! For this moodboard, I created a small magnetized plate. 1st layer is gesso black, then a fine layer of gesso white on reliefs, then a light touch of Purple (mica powder) in upper, right corner!!! And a little bit of acrylic paint, Art Alchemy "steampunk copper" here and there for the finishing touch!!! And it's done. I created a paradise!!!!!

Greetings!

I was so inspired by the darkness of this moodboard! I wanted to create intuitively - meaning paint without thinking too much about what I would do next or what the end result would be. I love to do this every once in a while to shake things up and rediscover things. I find it really allows me to paint from within!




To start, I used a wooden canvas and layered with black gesso. Then for texture, I layered black modeling paste through Finn's doily stencil with a palette knife. I love using stencils and modeling paste for extra texture. From there, I used acrylic paint to paint whatever my heart wanted to and used Finn's double-sided texture brushes to create amazing texture in the paint. In the end, I have a painting pretty different from anything I might normally make -- and found that it's quite fun to step outside of my comfort zone and not allow myself to pre-plan anything.






Hello Dear Friends:) I love our September Challenge as it challenged me with the colour palette ;) I love turquoise and pink and here I am with my black and white canvas:) I used mainly grey Ecoline paint and black art sugar and of course my beloved art stones;) Teddy bear is my own graphic which you can get in my Etsy shop;) Enjoy!

This month board inspired me to create such a motivator, which I called "Improvisation on the canvas." The basis of it is the canvas in a roll, which I covered with different pastes and paints. And I was pleased by the result.

Today I wanted to give some texture to my page. I love 3D  effect and Mixed Media. The Prima Finnabair products are excellent for extra effects.
