SHE WAITS, SHE WATCHES and DECOART



I love Halloween so DecoArt's Mixed Media Haunts Challenge was the perfect challenge for me.

My project was made on an 8x8 wood board.
I used these lovely DecoArt Products

Traditions: Phthalo Blue and Raw Umber
Matte Medium
Modeling Paste
Fluid Acrylics: Dioxazine Purple, Medium Grey Value 6, Dark Grey Value 3, Carbon Black, Titanium White, Interference Violet
Misters: Primary Cyan

I wish I had more step by step pictures but I didn't like what I was making at first.
I walked away and came back and then the magic happened.
I was having so much fun I didn't take many pictures.

You can see in this first picture the background I didn't like.
I created it with Mini Branches stencils but didn't like it.
I then added with stone walkway using Organic Matter stencil and modeling paste.


While the modeling paste was still wet, I added some grey paint watered down to the board.
It moved all the way through the stone path.


When it dried it looks like this.
Pretty cool looking.



I added more layers of paint and splatter it with titanium white to finished the background.




Doesn't look like a cool night sky?
Using a Stampendous Skeleton Lady and jet black archival ink, I stamped her on tissue paper and added her to the board.
I decided she didn't need anything else. 

She waits, She watches


I hope you like my project.
I had so much fun creating it.

Tip: Buy DecoArt paints.
The colors are amazing!!!
