Hello My Bloggy Dears!
I'm here today to show you a painting I did specifically to link up at Butterfly Effect 's weekly themed challenge....This week is Masks...
I decided to do a paint-over collage this time. I selected an image from a magazine and adhered some paperback pages to the canvas. I don't use this technique all the time, but I learned it from the wonderfully talented Tamara Laporte of Willowing...and it really is amazing how the underlying image completely transforms....
I am happily joining the festivities this year! So please join me for some frights and delights...and a Giveaway, too...heehee!
Phew...I don't think I've used so many links before...haha! I'll see you on Saturday!
Looking forward to it,
Cameron

Sorry about the glare...I barely remembered to snap a pic for you.
Here's an in progress shot.
....I knew I wanted to make her wearing an owl mask....as you know, I'm sorta into them right now :)
I decided to make her feathers all snowy and ethereal.
"Dreaming of Feathers"
8 x 10 Mixed Media on canvas
With a crisp contrasting background and dreamy, party pastel colors....
With lots of irridescent shimmer!
...and as always, my favorite part, piercing eyes...
I purposely left her hair more undefined so as to keep the focus on the mask....
Hope you enjoyed her.
She is in my Shop if you find her dreamy, too....and I am still offering 20% off everything til the end of October! The coupon code is THANKS2U.

Ooooow she is soooo beautiful!!! Must try that technique myself :D XXX
I love that technique, too. I haven't done it for a while though. She came out fabulous! And of course she'd have an owl mask. :)
I love this effect....collaging/painting over a magazine image. Was this technique from one of Tam's classes? Which one? Thanks
love love love this technique, especially for those days when a person will not materialise from your pen!, how perfect. You transformed her so well, I am in awe of what she became in the end, I have to say at the start I was wondering what was going on?? didnt realise how much of a base the first photo was, its so stunning. woo hoo for new technique, god there is just so much for us to do, I love it, how do people ever say they are bored in life??
love you Cam
and on another note did you notice that you have a word highlighted in green under your first photo 'snap' as well as 'show' and 'site' in your intro. It links to a little bubble, I had the same thing on a recent post and cannot get rid of it and its not in blogger when I try to edit the post, is this because we dont have a spam guard on our comments, maybe we should put them back on?? Anyone know???
cheeky buggers!
ps did I say that I loved loved loved you new technique?? Ohh yeah!
