Hey kids! Welcome to Thursday, also known as 50 Canvases day. I hope you enjoy this week’s video where I’ll turn a 10 x 14 inch canvas panel into a chicken. Okay not really a chicken, more like this:
hehehehe the bobble-headed-ness of it really makes me happy.
This week the challenge is to let it drip – you can use ink, watercolor, high flow or watered down acrylic, mashed potatoes, whatever you want, just let it flow where it wants to flow!
I dripped a couple of different colors of Liquitex ink and some high flow Golden Quinacridone magenta
I also splattered, collaged, washi taped, and gelli printed. Fun!
Here’s this week’s video!
Link up if you’re playing along – we’d love to see what you’re up to! Please be sure to link to a specific post or page and not just your blog main page or flickr account so that it doesn’t get lost!

Terrific video! It's probably no surprise that collage and gelli things are not my thing, but I love watching the painting of the face! I actually enjoy watching the whole thing, just to see it come to life!
It occurred to me I joined up the last couple but I am not following the prompt. I think you said you don't have to follow the prompt. Should the entries have more of the different kind of elements like yours, or is plain old acrylic and ink mighty fine? 😀

Thank you! Collage has never really been my thing either (I love the gelli plate just because it makes it easy to paint the entire background at once.. hahaha), but I'm working on it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOo of course not. The challenge is completely optional!! 😀

Ok! I have joined. Perhaps it will convince the next person! 😀

Alright. I'm gonna do the whole drip thing again (facepalm). Hopefully it goes way better for me this time than it did last time. Challenge in = growth out, right? Bring it on. (I do love this week's video :D)

hahahah go go go! You can do just bits of drips in the background or something 😀 I'm glad you liked it <3
