I then fussy-painted all of the trees with white paint pens. I had to do about eight layers of white to get the needed opacity. I’d just do a coat here and there while I was sitting in the living room.
I also used paint pens to letter the insides. I cut the edges to have a ragged look on purpose. I thought it kind of complimented the style of the art.
These are so artsy! I love them. It looks like a lot of fun doing all the layers. I think it’s so funny that we live near each other and also like graffiti since it’s not super common. Do you think that has something to do with where we live somehow?
I think this is a great thing about receiving holiday cards - there are so many different styles and they (should?) represent the style of the sender in such a concise way. For me, part of the joy is looking over at the display of this year’s cards and seeing the variety.
