Habitat for Humanity Project

Gessoed Panel and Jumping Joe

Molding

I picked up my supplies for this one a few days ago, and thought it might be fun to do the montage thing with it. Hopefully I can get it done by the auction, I have really been procrastinating on it so far.  I am a bit of an art history junky, and this is a bit of trivia for people.  The Robes of the Madonna were traditionally painted blue because it was the most expensive paint to come by.   To be more specific it was painted in Ultramarine which is made from Lapis Lazuli, which would have been mined and shipped from Afghanistan hence the cost.

Glued some scrap lace paper and drawing in charcoal

Threw some paint

Took some paint away

 Glaze of orange

Painting with frame

This is going to be a very long post.


I am going to call this project done, and it has now been delivered to Habitat for Humanity.  If you would like to see the finished piece you can come to their Raise the Roof event on April 28th.
