I thought it was time we dug out the Brusho's and had another play with them, this time incorporating metallic colours with them. I have used both the Ken Oliver Color Burst Liquid Metals (Heavy Metals set) as well as my Schmincke Gold & Silver powder. The Liquid Metals are already a liquid but the powder must be activated with water first and they both behave quite differently. For the samples with the faces I've used Jane Davenport's gorgeous face stamp sets which just give you the basic facial features and you add the rest. I've also tried to leave some white open space on most of my samples as I love the colour contrast between the brightness of the highly pigmented Brusho powders and the white space. I've also used a fine black Sharpie to add details to the hair on the two face ones. The green ocean one was simply to use up extra of the Schmincke powder that I had made up and I blended it with a couple of colours of Brusho powders in green shades.
"A little sparkle"...
(The lighter area in her hair is the Platinum Heavy Metals)
"Inside the box"...
(Copper Heavy Metals in the sky and Platinum Heavy
Metals for the moon)
"Love the sound"...
(Pewter Heavy Metals over Brusho's)
"Broken crayons"...
(this one is using the Schmincke gold over Grey Brusho)
"Salt water"...
(Schmincke gold splattered over a Brusho
& Schmincke gold background)
Lastly, these final two are both the covers, neither are finished but I wanted to show the different ways of using the Brusho's and how effective the white space can be. These are 20cm x 16cm (or 8" x 6").
Really lastly, these two are the final samples from the previous class, Translucent Alcohol Inks.
"Limited Edition"...
"Auto correct"...
