20 min here… 20 min there…

I started by taping on the paper bag pieces.  I had a couple of extras (?!!), but figured I could live with each side not being perfectly perfect.  At the top of the photo you can see the small sketches from a couple of days ago to get an idea of what I’m after.

Project 365 2/1/2012 taping paper bag template

I didn’t have any black.  (Gasp!)  I found some Payne’s gray, but it looked awful blue when I mixed it with some gel medium (to make the paint go further).  I threw in some copper paint that made the result a deep iridescent purple.   I doubt it will show up in any of the photos, but the color was absolutely luscious.

Project 365 2/1/2012 purple paint

I was a little concerned that there might be some various problems:  paper sticking, running out of my fab purple, tape picking up the bottom layer, or paint going under gaps of the paper bag template.  The paper bag did stick a bit in a couple of places where the paint went under, but overall I’m very pleased with the results.

Project 365 2/1/2012 sleeping on it

For now, I plan to let it dry while I sleep on whether I would like to do anything more to it.  I suspect maybe a wash to unify everything.  We’ll see.
