Today I started my bison project. I never drew a bison before, but as with the wolves I am sure I will learn fast. I also played with creating an ACEO card (Art Card Originals and Editions). Those cards are meant to be traded with other artists. They are small: 8.9×6.4 cm. It’s not much space for painting! I never painted much with acrylics at all so I wanted to try that out. It’s very different from ink and watercolors, but it was fun playing with a different tool still and it’s not the last ACEO card I make for sure.
I also had great fun printing on printer paper I had dyed in tea and crumbled up the paper to get an old used look. My poor printer had a tough job and it often choked on the paper. I ended up with a nice card collection of one of my current projects. I got the effect I wanted so I’ll count that a success. I’ll be creating more of these Tarot cards for sure too. All those seemingly meaningless cards give sense to me as they are my dreams, fears, joys, ideas and old memories. Some people might know the dark wolf “Mørkeulven” since I told about him and also drew him earlier here on the blog.
