    SOC3: sage and sepia

    July 15, 2013 - By 

    Sage and SepiaThis is the last week of Summer of Color! I can hardly believe it.

    This is the color combo I’ve been voting for each week. The strange thing is now that I got it…I had trouble making it work. The photo color is a bit off for the green but my “Photoshop fu” is off this morning.

    I painted the background with sage then distressed it a bit.  After adding the sepia elements, I used some white rub-ons for visual interest. The bride and groom are my maternal grandparents circa 1929.

    Incidentally, this is my 1000th post! WHOA! That’s a lot of blogging. Thanks to everyone who continues to read. I love it when you leave comments to let me know that you’ve been here.

    I’m not in love with this page. I wish I had stopped with the background and just put the words.

    Oh well..it is what it is and today is a new day to try something different.

    Two blue challenge

    birds on a wireI know that title looks like I don’t know the difference between two and too but in this case two is the proper usage.

    The challenge was to use at least two different blues in your artwork. I used way more than two.  🙂

    After I got all the background finished it looked like a sky to me. Since I have some fun bird on a wire washi tape I painted in some telephone poles so they’d have somewhere to perch. The plane was an afterthought but I think it was needed to give some depth to the page.

    I imagine myself laying on the ground, listening to the birds in between planes coming in for a landing at the nearby airport.
