Gypsy Soul

Did you hear that gypsy Shimmerz Siren call out to you?

Yep, that was me, Joyce. 

I’m going to show you how to apply some gypsy/bohemian style

to your art today using Shimmerz Paints.

 I have been enchanted by Gypsy genre and bohemian art styles lately, 

 so I thought I’d take those  feelings and put them on paper.

I adored the movement in the girls dance!

And, I thought I could create such movement with some art products.

• Applications of stencil and Shimmerz Texturez Tidy Widy were applied over various areas on the 9 x 12 watercolor paper.
• Then a heat gun was applied over the textured product and allowed to rise, bubble and burst which rendered a lacy look. 
• On top of the stenciled work, drops of Shimmerz Paint colors were applied, and I quickly added drops of water over the paint colored drops.  After this application, I allowed the color to dry completely before apply several other colors using the same technique.
• Once all the colors of paint dried thoroughly, I applied a white art pen over the raised stencil work to make it look like a lacy appearance.

And what’s a gypsy girl without her baubles and chains? 

• Some Inglingz Brass Knuckles was applied over the chipboard chains and then some white art pen markings were added to each bead in the chain.
• I gently swiped some Shimmerz Celery over the chain. 
• Some gesso and Shimmerz Key Lime were lightly applied over the metal flower charms.
