SLEEPING SEAGULL


Morgue File Photo
   






watercolor-step 1






mixed media-step 2










Using watercolor paper I painted the sky, bird, roost and drip technique. (Step 1)
Next I added Japanese Rice Papers to accent the seagull white feathers and wooden roost.



To make sure the rice paper did not peel off I gazed it with Acrylic Glazing Liquid. Off to the porch to photograph my newest creation.

Think I will try it oils or acrylics just  for fun.
Please check out Daily Paint Works to see it listed for sale.










   












I am always on the search for photos that appeal to my sense of artistic style. Somehow while deep in the rabbit hole of the computer I discovered www.morquefile.com where anyone can use a photo as a basis to create their own art work without copy right infringements.
