I've been working really hard on this canvas of mine so I hope you enjoy all the effort I've put into it! I'm going to sell it at an art thing this weekend and I just cannot contain my excitement! :D My ideas of this changed so much, ha ha, so bear with the pictures I give you. I'm also planning on making any other type of art, at request, for a fee! So feel free to e-mail me at shawneedear@live.com if you are interested! Now we commence!
In this bit, I was just playing around with the little I did have,
I painted the sky darker than where I wanted the ocean to go and left the beach blank,
I used a little more than half a broke CD for the setting sun,
and I had drawn out the surfer girl.
I ended up not putting the rays of the sun.
Sorry for the sideways-ness. -___-"
But here I glued the sand down on the canvas,
created a barrier between sand and ocean,
and began laying down the tiles for the ocean.
If you notice, the middle tiles are different that the far tiles.
I hated it and immediately removed all the tiles,
save for the wave and sand barriers.
That in itself took a few days. o.O
I started crushing the tiles using a mortar and pestle.
The glue began to dry as I laid the tiles so I thought I needed spray glue,
but it turns out, you can make spray glue with glue, water, and vigorous shaking!
I used chevrons for the birds,
and if you notice, my surfer girl looks different than before.
This is because she got wet by my spray/pour-on glue, ha ha.
But I like how it turned out!
And then *POOF* the final result!
(:
HEY LOOK AT THAT, I also completed Goal #38: Do a marvelous canvas painting!
It's not really a painting but I think it counts!
:D
