Art Journal: In Every Sunshine There is Hope

This was briefed as “a time of the day” and my favourite has to be sunrise in the morning.  Aquatints were the best choice for getting a nice background down.  I then used stencils by Sheena Douglass to build up a line of trees that the sky could shine through.  At first I wasn’t sure what to stencil with and thought about modelling paste, acrylic paint, etc.  In the end I remembered I had these nice embossing powders that are sort of black but one shines green and the other shines red making a lovely effect for this. 

Ingredients

  • Aquatints
  • Distress inks: Gathered twigs and wild honey
  • Stamps (script and cracks) by Sheena Douglass
  • Twinkling H2o in Pearl Gold
  • Stencils by Sheena Douglass
  • Embossing powders by Cosmic Shimmer in malachite and volcanic aurora
