Day 3 of 29: Postcard recycling
Take a couple old postcards and recycle them! Maybe they’re from an ex-friend. No need to chuck ‘m … FIX ‘m.
I painted over the B side w/ white acrylic paint. Shoulda gone w/ gesso as the acrylic is not totally opaque.
After the acrylic dries, I went over w/ concentrated watercolor. The sepia-looking color is actually a really old Dr. Martin’s Scarlet (5A) that has … er … “turned.”
Filled out with some cool-colored Sharpies™, custom postcard postage (that’s clearly a bit old) and addressed (parts obscured for privacy) and it’s ready to post.
That’s it. Cheers!
