Painting + Photography = This!

Morning everyone!

Just wanted to share a little tidbit of art inspiration with you this morning :).

Recently I had a print get ruined by one of a print's worst enemies: tape. The print was not satisfactory to give to my client and I just couldn't throw it out since the tape had only touched it in 2 little spots. So I decided to try my first combo between painting and photography.

I cut circles out of the print after painting a canvas the same size as the print (11x14) a colour that I thought would compliment it.  To get near perfect circles, I used various kitchen supplies like both ends of a wine glass, a bowl, and some measuring spoons. I chose a rich navy blue to go with the blue on the bird in the print! I had planned on sealing the print with a high gloss sealant afterwards but I just loved how it turned out without the sealant. Below are photos of the final product, let me know what you think!

This just goes to show that in the despair of a damaged print, never fear, there's hope!



Have a great day everyone :).
