Eyes

Eyes are the focus on Sunday Postcard Art (SPA) this week. Audrey, host of  My Art Room, chose this fun theme. Thank you Audrey.      

For my postcard, I chose a transparency of a vase of flowers near a window. The gray and white transparency  was very dull looking. First, I tried coloring the top of the image with oil pastels. That didn't work so I wiped off the color. Next, I tried coloring the back of the image with heavy strokes of oil pastels. This resulted in subdued pale colors. I then attached the transparency to a postcard-sized sheet of pink vellum. I had enhanced the vellum with some additional pink pastel.

The (free) female image is from Lisa's Altered Art. You must visit her site. She has the prettiest little girl images.
