On the Farm and Sticker Art (Day of Fun)

A Day of Fun!
Oh! yes!  I knew that the UKATC Theme for November was 'On theFarm' and when I saw this sheet of Farmyard Sticker in Works, I knew that my ATCs would be completed.

I had this vision of stickers with gesso surrounding them, as though the sticker was coming out of the white background, know what I mean?!!!??

I cut out the cards and spread them with gesso and let it dry.

No, that wasn't how I imagined it.  The gesso was AWFUL!!!

I mixed some water colour paint with the gesso and then layered over the white gesso.
Better.

I used a rubber brush and applied the coloured gesso round the stickers, stroking it among the stickers so that there was shading in the colour.




Yes!
Much better than I imagined!

I love them!

How many have I made?

Lots and lots, that's how many!!
