Continuing in the style of yesterday's painting, this parrot was a lot of fun to do. Following the style of Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson, I spent a lot of time making my own painted papers.
I painted about 14 sheets of tissue paper with fluid acrylics, let them dry, and ironed them flat. My reference photo was taken in 1969(!) by my now ex husband (!!).
I did an under painting that looked pretty good, then started tearing bits of paper and gluing them on with gel medium. This method is tedious, but the finished painting has a unique charm.
