A Dog's Life - Kerstin Filou - Mood Board Inspiration

 

Welcome everyone!

 

Dusty Attic's January Moodboard invites you to create

 an amazing project of your own choice,

it shows beautiful warm natural colors.

 

I was inspired to create a natural mixed media layout with our darlings, the shelties.

I used some of the awesome dog chipboards, which where primed 

with white or black gesso, always a very good base when you plan to paint

 with acrylic colours. On the parts with black primer, 

I continued to work with dry brush technique,

 used white gesso and green gold metallic paint.

The natural looking chipboards were painted with two shades 

of green acrylic paint, for the wheat I used green, gold and white, 

ears became more vivid with micro pearls.
