If you were a child of the 60s, then you no doubt grew up to Beatles music.
I loved Paul McCartney and John Lennon and as probably THOUSANDS of other
starry-eyed young girls, I was convinced that I would someday marry Paul.
Well, that never happened but my love of Beatles' music remained.
I am sharing a new (to me) Andy Skinner splash technique featuring an image transfer of John Lennon on an 8x8 canvas. You can see this canvas and the complete pictorial tutorial on DecoArt's Mixed Media Blog.
I posted a bit of a teaser on my blog yesterday. Today I thought I would share my newest splash image transfer canvas; Paul McCartney.
He's a bit different than John but basically the same techniques were used on both. "Let It Be" are Making Memories rub on letters that I've had forever. But, I love how they look on this canvas. I will be hanging John and Paul side by side in my art studio.
For the complete pictorial tutorial on how to do these techniques, hop on over to the DecoArt Mixed Media Blog. It's a really fun and easy project!
I really loved your John Lennon one but I have to admit to having had a weakness for Paul in those early days too! I remember you saying (I think!) that you wished you had left a little more of the background showing and it looks like you have on this one - it really does look fantastic, love it! Anne xx

ReplyDeleteHi Candy, thanks for the lovely comment over at mine. Loving your canvas. The techniques worked so well with the subject, reminds me of the psychedelic images that were around then done by artists like Andy Warhol. Have a great week, Angela xXx
