New challenge at Try it on Tuesday - Make it Masculine

Hi Everybody!

Hope you week got off to a good start! It's still cold and windy here, but I like it, it's great weather for walking, and rain is welcome, too!

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT -

-Make it masculine-

As always, you have 2 weeks to enter our challenge, and entries of all formats, digital, physical or hybrid are welcome-

I made an A3 Mixed Media journal page. I painted the background with gesso then added in some titan buff and burnt umber. While it was still wet I sprinkled on some EPs in black, white  and copper and heat dried it. Then I added the diamonds through a stencil using some iron paste I discovered in my cupboard. I can't remember buying it, but suppose I must have done! I collaged 2 of my men, and added colour with brown and black pastel chalks.  The roosters are scraps of paper napkins:

And I have some photos from the Botanical Gardens and a park in Düsseldorf:

I'm not sure if this is Doris or Heike sleeping in the mud:

The little coots were having a big splash party:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
