Deco Art americana stencil : "Fossil"by Andy skinner 

The challenge was to only use Blue Orange, yellow and black and white for the painting, this being a #STEGERSANDSTEIJN lesson it was supposed to be a girl face again, but I really dont like painting girls all the time so I made a Dodo :-).
luckely the colors mix into purples and brownish colors and black and white was allowed to.

Fot thebackground I used stencils and in the fossil stencil I cheated by using  Traditional Burnt Sienna

USA flag AJ page

I was playing around with a Deco Art Stencil and this came out

Deco Art Products used:
Deco Art Americana acrylics in : True Red , Snow White, True Blue and Navy Blue
Deco Art Americana Gesso, Stencil American Tribute

I made this in my small Moleskine journal, it has very thin paper so first I glued 2 pages together and next added a layer of gesso.

The Flag of the stencil was exact the right size to fit on the spread and I started stenciling the red using a stencil brush.
Next I adde the blue and made the background around the flag blue too.
The stars are in the stencil and I used white for them, next I painted the white stripes.

The shades were made using a Faber Castel pitt brush pen in black.

Travellers Notebook

I bought a Trvellers Notebook (knock off) because i think it will work great for me to have the option of having several books in one cover. with our upcoming travel to USA I started decorating the covers of insert that will be my travel journal. There is a video of the process, see below

Little fox

Hi everyone, I had some fun playing with the assignment from the Pienuts Create 2017 group, the fox was given the rest is optional :-)

And because it was cold and freezing here I thought the poor little fox could use a hat and a sweater, so I did not use the template but drew him in a winter landscape with a bit Christmassy feel.
