Glue and Pastel Flower Project

The following link takes you to an easy fun impressionistic flower project using white glue and pastel on dark paper. Above are a couple of photos I made of flowers that you can use for inspiration.

Here is my sunflowers piece in stages of completion:

The first step is a loose impressionistic drawing with the glue bottle.
The next step is to allow the glue to dry until clear.

The last step is to fill in the spaces and blend colors.

I think the next time I try this I'll use a darker toned paper this was a mid range grey brown and I would've liked more contrast.

The spoon daisy pastel painting was completed in the following stages:

Again I did a loose impressionistic drawing with the glue and then let it dry.

I finished with pastels and blending. I quite like the contrast of the bright flowers against the dark background.

I think I'll do a negative effect by doing the glue on bright white paper and using shades of a single color to fill in the pastel work.

I hope you are inspired to give this method a try.
