This is a demo I did for my 'story board' at Michaels. Let me tell you, there are entirely different skill sets for painting... and for collage/poster making. I spent THREE hours today trying to make tiny stickers in the shape of letters explain briefly the painting process. I think, in the end, it looks more like a ransom note, where all the individual letters are cut from different spots in magazines - all crooked and tilting. People at the store were very kind. However, about once a minute someone, seeing me in my 'Michaels' uniform, would ask me where something was. Now... I only know where the art supplies are! And, well, the flowers, as I was standing in the middle of them.
Anyway, if you go to the Michaels' in Middletown and see my storyboard - do not laugh. :) I hope I paint better than I make posters!

And the block-in
You are so funny Kelley! A ransom note... I bet the poster was very artistic and made people stop in their tracks to read it. You grabbed their attention for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your steps and process!
ps- Want a donut to pacify?
Kelley, Just can't get enough of your step by step, paintings! I love seeing how you work, so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteExcuse me Maam, wheres the gimp?

ReplyDeleteThis perseverance will pay off.
The painting came out well.
Sunflowers always make me smile. Whether I am painting them or looking at a painting of them.
ReplyDeleteSo cheery!

Okay, first, love the sunflowers and two your stories never cease to put a smile on my face. Request: would you please post a picture of your ransom note and also of you in your Michaels uniform. Please Kelley, please
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, Nice Sunflowers! I like the negative space stems and petals
ReplyDeleteAmy, you are not funny.
ReplyDeleteNO! I can't take a picture of me in my Michael's uniform!!! I think I even don't wear it right (let's see.. black collared shirt (or polo), khaki's, black socks, black shoes with heels enclosed. Apron. MAYBE a name tag. Not sure. Never actually punched in...
lovin' your sunflowers...even if you had to wear the uniform for them!
