Today's inspiration site is Ellen Huston - so much cool stuff there. My inspiration came from the colors in this watercolor look Paper pack especially the pinks and blues that can morph into purple with a hit of green. I was also heavily influenced by current events and a vision that has been haunting my brain that I wanted to try and put to paper.
Since I am not really "artistic", I started by stamping the Judykins facial features (eyes, nose & mouth) with Gina K Jet Black Amalgam ink - Then started adding bits of watercolor and letting the pinks & blues run but, at least in part, trying to control where the fleshtones fell to give the illusion of a full face. I cut my art piece with a deckle edged die then sponged Bottle Green around the edge and used my aquapen to drag some of that color inward. I felt compelled to wrap my painting in a spiderweb of royal blue thread ( I think it gives a bit of a fractured feeling without obscuring the sadness) and adhered to a beige cardbase that had been stamped with pink & blue spatters.
