Dragonfly Silouette
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: jkanack

 This took all day, partly because the paint was thick and took a bit to dry and because I've been under the weather with sinus junk. Didn't have a plan for what to put on my background.
The background is smooshed cardstock with acrylic paint. Just run some thin lines of paint over a whole piece of cardstock and then lay another one on top and lightly press. You get at least two for one and maybe even more. Lots of texture and shine. This is what inspired me: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/723953708854693543/
Thanks for the challenge, lots of good inspiration!

I really like how the details of the wings on the dragonfly pop because of how dramatic the colors are in the background.

Very cool background, Jean. I totally understand about that drying paint - I waited all day for some modeling paste to dry and then it curled and cracked. Love your colors and the dragonfly looks fab against them. Lovely. Hugz

Sorry you are not feeling great, but it didn't stop your creative side. I love what you did with the bg and acrylic paint. I need to try this. TFS Fav'd
You nailed the piece.
