They all look great, IS!
PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING, ATC Swap, Due Oct. 3
- Thread starter CiCiCreates
- Start date
Thank you! ☺️
I thought that I would try painting flowers straight on ATC size backings. I only have a student's beginner set of acrylics (2 reds, 2 yellows, orange, blue, green, purple with black and white) and for some reason my black paint breaks down to a dark green when I try to mix it with anything 
Really liked my poppies
not so keen on what are supposed to be red tulips 
tried adding some sky to the next 2:
tried for 2-colour leaves 
inspired by the acacia trees in full bloom seen on our walk - blossoms formed with the end of a kebab stick, dipped in both yellows

the mountains now that they are cut to ATC size
for someone who declared that acrylics were NOT my thing during the recent Super Challenge Hunt - I think that I am now addicted

Donna, the mountains are great. Was it hard to choose? I love the first four as well, can see you’ve been busy. I tell myself in order to make this learning experience worth it, I should create at least one HD/HP card with palette knives for future swaps I join
The mountains chose themselves - if you look at the original you will see that there is a blob in the middle of the painting, I just trimmed around it. My cards will be on the way to you tomorrow.
Donnacr - I'm so happy that you joined the swap and that you found satisfaction painting with acrylics. I especially like your poppies, but your mountain scenes have a real artistic flair.
Ancient Planter and LuAnnP, your wonderful sets have arrived safely, thanks for the extras for me!
Luk, your wonderful set has arrived, love these cards! I will post a pic later today.
I am not joining this swap. However, the art is beautiful! I wrote down the directions for the technique and plan to try it out. For the rest of this week, my art room is an office & bedroom for our oldest son who is visiting, and working. So this is a future project.
Thanks Nancy, for your interest in the technique. I hope you’ll let me know how it goes when you are able to try.
Cards have been received from IridescentSiren. They all look great, and thanks for the host extra!
So glad you tried this method leydab, and thanks for posting pictures. That rugged tree trunk is great!

Luk, I almost forgot to take a picture of your cards. Here is Luk’s set, everyone- aren’t they great? 
Wow LuK - your cards are beautiful. I want them all!
I'd like to join, please. I've just been experimenting with the technique a bit. It's nice and messy. 🎨 My hands are all kinds of colors these days.🤣
Welcome to you, Alaskabadger!
