Altered Facts

Altered Facts  mixed media on photograph 5x7" by Meera Rao

I had been fascinated with how artist James Gurney ( I love his art, and his wonderful treasure of blog posts!) uses casein paints in his art. I decided to try casein paints on one of the photographs I have been using in my mixed media experiments.  Along with casein I applied Pebeo Prisme, ceramic paints and white gel pen to manipulate the photograph. It is no exaggeration to say I had loads of fun painting and then coming up with title :) 

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Thank you, Carol and Ashok, I am grateful to you for stopping by and leaving a comment -- sometimes I wonder if anyone checks blogs these days !!! :) yes, it was great fun to paint these -- the way Pebeo mixed media paints react to each other is always a wonderful surprise like painting with watercolors....
