This is a background painted in acrylic paints with some rubbing gold wax added. I outlined some parts with white gel pen. After painting a couple of things and rubbing them back off, I decided to smear some gesso over part of it. Then I digitally added the scripture given to us by Word Art Wednesday.
Just on a whim, I used my Photoshop Elements to invert the colors. This is far more dramatic than the original coloration. I am entering this in Word Art Wednesday. This is the only painting I have done this week since I'm busy wrapping Christmas gifts for mailing and writing notes in my Christmas cards. So I am also going to enter this in the Paint Party Friday #38 too.
How very creative, Faye! This is a beautiful use of the scripture and it blesses me to see you use it so creatively! Thanks for sharing this pretty and inspiring piece of art in our challenge this week. I hope you're having a blessed week, and that you will join us again very soon. What a blessing!

ReplyDeleteWonderful background with lots of texture, the white gel pen and the rubbing wax work really well. I have rubbing wax and always wondered what to do with it - now I know!
