Scratch It!

Saturday's Workout introduced us to a technique that has the underpainting making the design in the finished piece.

Please enlarge to see the elephant more clearly.




Here's how I made mine:

1. I used Moon Shadow mists to make a orange and brown background.

2. When that layer dried, I wiped on black acrylic paint.

3. Immediately, I took my new elephant stamp and stamped into the wet paint.

4. Next, I took a palette knife and drew the tree and bushes in the wet paint.

I left the background showing around the edges of the black to show you the colors I used.
