Time Keeper

My first time playing with Gesso and modeling paste, products of Maimeri.
Have to try them on paper to see just what I can do. It was an interesting first time experiment. I put acrylics over it and mixed in a bit of Derwent's Inktenses and some Russian made ink sprays, also I used stensils and stamps.

Photo is from cinema add, presenting "Hugo" by Martin Scorsese, which in Russia was shown under the name "Time Keeper"(don't ask me why - our translators'minds have very-very strange thought process))). I absolutely love this movie, it is so beautiful and adventurous, it has a lot of its own charm and the whole cast is very talented and.. there are so many good things to say about this movie, but I'm sure you know them all)). And if you, per strange chance, have not seen it yet - please, DO. It will totally hit you in all right places)).

That's New To Me week 3

Another week of the challenge got us letter V which I combined with string #140 at tanglepatterns.com


Patterns are Verve by JJLaBarbera, Veezley by Sandy Hunter and Vache 1&2 by Genevieve Crabe.

I've decided to combine them with my new watercolor set Simply (Dailer Rowney). I've just bought it and those watercolors are truly awesome. Tried myself at mixing new colors from just the half of the set and I was in ablolute love with them instantly! Beautiful, really, and bright and very saturated.

Here, if you want to look at them closely: White, Coerulean, Ultramarine, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna and Burnt Umber.

And the mixed ones, I really don't know which names they have, but I know that you can make Teal if you mix Coerulean and Burnt Sienna, and very deep Grey Brown, if you do it the other way ;).

Really, I never even knew before that some colors that I truly love, could be made just by mixing some of those six.
