100 Tropical Hearts

Posted on February 12, 2018 | 17 Comments

I was experimenting with acrylic paint and India ink yesterday….

And I created this tropical Flamingo by drawing with an ink dropper and then scraping acrylic paint over it:

Isn’t it wild?! 😉

I next experimented with some drips:

Then I cut this paper into strips and 100 tropical hearts:

I plan to use them in my art journals… what would you do with them?

I hope you have a LOVEly Monday!

Cheers! 🙂

LOVE it. I am not an artist, and didn’t expect this bonus of blogging, but thank you for bringing a little piece of delight into my life! I showed this to my daughter who is artistic, and she loved it too. X
