Painted, using gouache, on the 3rd vintage postcard sent to me for the Val Webb online class. After the computer crash, I was wary about going on with the online videos so am just using the postcards and what I learned in the class so far. This little ladybug seemed like a good thing to add to the postcard :) All using gouache only to paint her there.
No hearts and flowers for Valentine's Day but she's red :)
Do you have any old postcards lying around - or ones you've collected but not used or sent? Just "age" them with watercolor or tea or coffee staining - and paint something...and then mail them off to a friend!
Rhonda, the nice post and the lovely card! I hope your computer will come back to life asap. Cheers, Sadami
ReplyDeletelooks great :D and 4 cents to mail something! I wish lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little painting! happy Valentines - may your love affair with art and painting thrive :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sadami!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer Rose - yes, it seems impossible to mail anything for 4 pennies, but postage really is pretty cheap even today.
ReplyDeletethank you, Meera - what a lovely wish,
postage isnt cheap here sadly :/ and keeps going up
ReplyDeleteVery cool - you are doing well with these postcards.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Jennifer Rose. If we mail a first class card out within the US, it's 49 cents and that pretty cheap. Anything going outside the US is still not too pricey if you buy a global international stamp (as long as it's not a package - then things do get pricey).
ReplyDeleteDeb, thanks. I am enjoying doing these little things in between bird paintings :)
Good evening Rhonda.... Your "Lady in Red" loves living in Rockport, Canada. DEb and I thank you for your thoughtful gift. She will always remind us of a very special and generous "Lady Friend" in Kentucky! Both treasures to us!
ReplyDeleteWarmest regards and thanks!
Bruce and Deb
