Harvest Moon

 This week Kia has shared with us this tutorial from Emma Jane Lefebvre about painting a Harvest Moon as seen on YouTube here. 

one thing she mentioned was she was adding the Payne's grey with a mop brush and since I had cut this panel to fit on an A7 sized card I did use two of my smallest ones. These hold a tremendous amount of water and paint compared to the black velvet brushes So, after this first layer of paint I had to walk away and let it dry a while. I forgot to add the salt to the moon.

 

After the Second layer of paint this is again sitting waiting to dry.

When I came back to it I remembered I was supposed to add white highlights so I used some Windsor & Newton Gouache here in white. ( it really does not have that big of an impact after it dried) 

 

After the 4th round of painting I decided it was "good enough" and finished it off into the card you see below.

The sentiment here is from Impression Obsession and it was stamped on a pale blue scrap. ( most likely PTI aqua mist) with some Versafine ink. Are you playing along with us? you can find the details of this challenge here at Splitcoaststampers. Thanks for stopping by.
