Deer Girl

Look who I found in the forest.

Her face, ears & antlers are an acrylic base with prismacolor pencil for detail, shadows & highlights. The background is pencil & distress stain, as is her hair. Last of all I added some gesso through a stencil for some texture.

The colours are paler & more muted than I usually use but I like it. She has a winter feel about her that works well.

Theme for July

This month's theme is woodland creatures. My favourites include deer, squirrels, tree nymphs and rabbits.

I'll be using this theme as inspiration for my art and journaling through July. I hope you will too. If you'd like to share your work with others please send an email to kooky.makes@gmail.com and I'll send you a link to our facebook group. I look forward to seeing you there.
