Painting from a stamp!

I love finding new ways to paint, I`m in the 

constant search of inspiration and trying new

things that keep awake my muse and I made 

a class about one of my favortie techniques

wich is painting form a stamp!  The class

uses an atc as an example, a cool way to make

them and trade real pieces of art!

Many find it hard to draw but enjoy a lot the 

process of painting and this is a cool way to

get started! Once you stamp you start adding

the corresponding shades and lights to make 

the shapes look more realistic!

I did this one in my altered book, remember 

the one I told you earlier? The big fat encyclopedia,

I love seeing the words behind her, adds lots 

of texture and sometimes you find a great word

that can go highlighted in the work!

The only thing you have to be careful if

you are using acrylics is not add too

much paint or else it will be stock when

you close the book! What I do if I add 

too much is to sand the work a bit but 

I use little paint from the beginning or

if I got carried away I attach an acetate 

between pages! 

If you would like to take this free class

and learn more about this technique, 

you are very welcome to join us! 

Enjoy your weekend!
