Crusade 42 - Strip Ease

A new challenge is up on the GPP Street Team blog: Strip Ease! The idea is to tear strips of paper and add them to the page. I started with a children's book page and some patterned papers. I then covered it all with a glaze of red acrylic. On another book page, I drew a girl over gesso and then painted her with watercolour. Finally, I wrote some text on plain paper, made some torn strips out of it, distressed them and glued them on the page. The absolute last thing I did was add oil pastel around the text pieces and the drawing.

Don't forget to comment on my previous post for my giveaway.

Un nouveau défi a été affiché sur le blogue du GPP Street Team: Strip Ease! L'idée est de déchirer des languettes de papier et de les ajouter à la page. J'ai commencé avec une page de livre pour enfant et des papiers à motifs. J'ai ensuite recouvert le tout d'un glacis d'acrylique rouge. Sur une autre page de livre, j'ai dessiné une fille sur du gesso puis je l'ai peint à l'aquarelle. Finalement, j'ai écrit le texte sur du papier ordinaire, déchiré des languettes que j'ai vieillit à l'encre puis collé sur la page. La dernière chose que j'ai fait a été d'ajouter du pastel à l'huile autour des morceaux de texte et du dessin.

N'oubliez pas de laisser un commentaire sur mon entrée précédente pour mon tirage.

    Nice page Sophie, tearing papers and painting over them is a technique I use all the time, it creates a very nice surface huh? :-)

    Sophie - thanks for sharing your process and page with the team. Cool added detail of the torn phrases. Adding paint over the top was daring - I bet the texture looks really cool in real life.

    Hello Sophie,

    I like the glaze with the paint : it unifies the whole pages and still let you see through.
    A nice bold color !

    greetings from belgium
