2018 #17 Colour - A Box of Eggs: Mottled Egger with ECF {by Bryan Evans}

 2018 Topic 17: A Box of Eggs (Colour Topic)

Our Bryan is back! Using his pretty egg-shell colours - hence this new exploratory colour-theme 'a box of eggs'. He's contrasted with a fabulous structural collage arrangement. I love his approach to creating art! Enjoy and welcome to a new topic! ~Leandra

Hi everyone, it's Bryan here from GeezerCrafter with you today, and I'd like to share with you my collage using some of the new Fresco Paints and Stamps from Courtney.

I found inspiration for my background colours from a picture of a range of eggs on the Internet.

Ameraucana Eggs have colours similar to Seaglass and Mottled Java, similar to Blah Mange. I used part of an Impress Mono printing plate to apply the paints, I normally use this for transferring inks to card. Love the marks and textures.

I wanted some of my collage elements to be part of the substrate, must remember the three's motto!! Love the colours against the brown packaging.

Another egg I came across is called Olive Egger...

I applied Distress Ink Old Paper direct onto some cream card, then dropped some reinker onto the Impress Mono printing plate and swiped across the card, this gave me a cool mottled, speckly effect.

These stamps are great for cutting up into smaller elements, as I wanted them smaller than my focal image.

I used this stamp to guide the viewer in.

And to stop falling off the page.

Found some old tickets relating to Liverpool Street, just used the numbers. Remembered the three's motto!!. Added some Fresco Acrylic Chalk paint in Cheesecake to highlight my focal point.

I had a lot of fun playing with some of the new paints and stamps from Courtney, looking forward to investigating some more of the new colours. There are so many egg colours and variations, plenty of the Fresco range will suit. Looking forward to seeing your creations and the colours you choose to use.

Thank you for joining me tonight. Bryan.
