Feeling a little Loose

Been painting visions of spring lately and that usually includes some florals.  I usually love my florals that are loose in nature and just come together very organically. Here is progression of one recent piece.

I created a background of vintage ledger sheets, maps, wallpaper and molding paste using StencilGirl's Art Nouveau stencil by Lizzy Mayne.

I then drew out my floral and began loosely painting in and around, adding in more charcoal and pen as I went until I was finished.

Here are some close ups.

Here is the final piece.

Happy New Year everyone ~ a little late to the party, I know!  I am dusting off the art supplies and getting back to the painting and blogging.  As January is always such a gray month, I decided to start a large, colorful painting (not that I have to be convinced to use color).

I thought I would share with you the piece as it progresses.

So...kind of fun to watch the progression, yes? Make sure to check back and I will post again with finished results!  I will also be posting pictures on Instagram if you want to follow me there!
