A new challenge is up on the GPP Street Team blog: Strip Ease! The idea is to tear strips of paper and add them to the page. I started with a children’s book page and some patterned papers. I then covered it all with a glaze of red acrylic. On another book page, I drew a girl over gesso and then painted her with watercolour. Finally, I wrote some text on plain paper, made some torn strips out of it, distressed them and glued them on the page. The absolute last thing I did was add oil pastel around the text pieces and the drawing.
Don’t forget to comment on my previous post for my giveaway.

Un nouveau défi a été affiché sur le blogue du GPP Street Team: Strip Ease! L’idée est de déchirer des languettes de papier et de les ajouter à la page. J’ai commencé avec une page de livre pour enfant et des papiers à motifs. J’ai ensuite recouvert le tout d’un glacis d’acrylique rouge. Sur une autre page de livre, j’ai dessiné une fille sur du gesso puis je l’ai peint à l’aquarelle. Finalement, j’ai écrit le texte sur du papier ordinaire, déchiré des languettes que j’ai vieillit à l’encre puis collé sur la page. La dernière chose que j’ai fait a été d’ajouter du pastel à l’huile autour des morceaux de texte et du dessin.
N’oubliez pas de laisser un commentaire sur mon entrée précédente pour mon tirage.

>Nice page Sophie, tearing papers and painting over them is a technique I use all the time, it creates a very nice surface huh?

>Sophie – thanks for sharing your process and page with the team. Cool added detail of the torn phrases. Adding paint over the top was daring – I bet the texture looks really cool in real life.
