Mixed media painting 多媒體畫作

 

For the last few weekends I was so enjoying the basic acrylic painting class.  Today's last session I walked away with the skills and got inspired to apply in my multi-media creation.

My Last post of painting on a silk chiffon .

過去的十個週末我很享受彩繪畫班, 雖然是初階已學習到好些技巧, 我將纖維與羊毛結合創作 以羊兒為主題的質感畫作, 

I made the textured painting with the sheep theme as Lunar New Year is approaching.  Themed picture of the Year of the Ram is atmospheric.

I made the texture of sheep with raw fleece, a little yarn and merino with nuno felt skill.

After the slightly rubbing and rolling, nuno felt is done.

I used the textile Mod Podge mounted over 2/3 of the canvas frame.  Cut the mountain line and little creases texture.

After dried, painted it with acrylic.

Finished. I call it "Snowy Sheep"

Mogi, who's always the judge.

Made another one with a wood board.  Same theme of sheep.

The seven roaming sheep in a spring field.

Also creases for the tree trunk, branches and the field.

This one I call it "Blue Mountain Roaming Sheep"

"Mogi, what do you think?"

Well, the two textural painting of multi-media for the Year of the Ram.

Hope to learn the upcoming intermediate class and get inspired.

My new friends may like to view some more works from my facebook. Please feel free to browse.

Theme of the Year of the Sheep 羊年喜氣 "羊羊"

            The upcoming Chinese New Year falls on 19 Feb. 

 With the zodiac of Year of the Sheep (Ram or Goat), I made something of wool felt related to sheep. Of course wool is the media and the sheep is the theme. Not much like doing needle felt but I did make the small sheep.

今年農曆年是羊年, 藉此做些以羊仔為主題的手作. 針氈小羊兒, 濕氈羊毛畫及在牆壁塗畫小羊. 充滿喜氣 "羊羊".......

   This is a wool felt painting of landscape with yurts and gazing sheep.

 In Mongolia the traditional roof of the yurt is made with wool felted blankets but this one is my Israeli friend Rachel's son with family lives in the North near Galilee.  Last March when I was there Rachel took me there for a visit. Post of my last Israel visit.

 There're a few yurts in the site.  

 Simply life for the family. One of the yurts is a playground for the kids. Rachel made the eco printed vest for the grandkid.  I helped stitching the seams.

 View through the door is endless green field with pretty wild flowers.

 I was relaxing with the dog ......

 and watching the free-range hens.....

With the beautiful memory of the Israel landscape, I came up the landscape picture of yurts and sheep instead of hens

 This is the finished wet felt picture of sheep

 Who knows I felted the yurt with this hair from my Chinchilla fluffy ball !

 As it's the Year of the Sheep for the Chinese New Year, I made a phone pouch with both sides sheep. Red packets are given during the new year days

Red is fortune, red is luck, red is welcome. 

  

"Mum's ready for the New Year of Sheep and painted the wall with a little sheep !!"

Wish the Year of Sheep brings luck to you all !
