"Peace Within", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Peace Within"

I was recently fortunate enough to host a workshop with the most fabulous artist, Jenny Grant. http://www.flowbyjenny.com/en

I first found Jenny on Facebook a couple of years ago. Jenny is from Stockholm, Sweden. On a whim, last year I asked her if she would come to the US and hold a workshop. To my surprise, she said yes and was gracious enough to come to Colorado and hold a workshop on her mixed media techniques. This painting was a result of her workshop.

Here below are some photos of how my painting progressed through the many layers. The first pictures depict how papers, inks, and paints were layered on to this piece.

Then I added more modeling paste for texture and then more color!

After drying, we took a reference photo and proceeded to add a face. I wanted the face to meld in with the background.

To finish off, I added some darker inks and more stamping. She's done! I love her.

I will be forever grateful to Jenny for coming all the way over here to teach. She is one of the most gracious, kind, compassionate people that I've ever met. What a blessing to call her "friend".

I will be holding on to this painting, but I'd love to hear from you! You can send me an email at: saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com

“Forever Changed”, by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

Forever Changed Sometimes people come into our lives unexpectedly. They end up doing life with us, the good and the bad. They see us through the most trying times and the offer us unwavering friendship and love. They are “our person”. Sometimes, they are gone way too soon. But because of them, we are forever changed. This piece has layers of papers, paints, inks, and is heavily textured. This piece is sold, but commissions are welcomed. Feel free to contact me via email at saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com .
