This is an awesome background I made using
Dylusions Shimmer Sprays on a sheet of
Bamboo Mixed Media paper from
I used loads of water, blotted and mopped up,
then added more water and shimmer spray.
I also used a heat gun to make the heat rings.
Lots of working on this sheet of paper with tools
and it held up like a champ!
No problem with warping, pilling, or shredding.
And I love the bright, brilliant color.
I loved it so much that I imported it into the
Procreate App on my iPad and tangled up
this mandala. I am still learning the program,
there is sooooo much you can do with Procreate.
And I still have my original sheet of color that
I can use for something else.
This is a 12" x 16" sheet of
Cézanne Hot Pressed Mould Made Watercolor paper
from Hahnemühle.
For color I used a couple shades of the
Dylusions Ink Sprays and a lot of water.
Yep.
That's my signature move - lots of water.
And a heat gun to make rings, drips and runs.
I love that this sheet is so large and it looks
beautiful!
Because it was originally on a block of
paper - that means it is glued on all 4 sides -
I was able to leave it attached to the block
until it was completely dry. And it stayed flat.
Yayayay!!!
I also uploaded this paper into the Procreate App
and tangled up a little underwater scene.
Hahahahaha!
I don't know where you'd have to go
to find a red and orange ocean,
but this is my underwater scene
and I'm sticking with it!
I used nebula, printemps, Indy Rella,
ripped screen and a hybrid tangle I'm working on.
I am really enjoying loading my backgrounds into
the app and using them without actually drawing
on the original piece of art. That way I can use
the backgrounds again and again for other things.
Although I totally see myself tangling up this large
sheet of paper at some point.
Hahnemühle has so many amazing types of paper
to draw or paint or print on.
You can check them out at their website
The Bamboo Mixed Media can be purchased here.
Cézanne Hot Pressed can be purchased here.
And . . . if you are new to my blog,
this is easy to remember

Terrific - can see the advantages of keeping background for using time & again. Love your ocean especially with swimming indyrella & printemps.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to do a step out for that swimming printemps thingy. I like it :)
DeleteWhen you import it do you mean you photo it and then use it?
ReplyDeleteyes. I have the background saved in my camera roll. then in procreate I open a new file, click on image and import it through there.
