Drawing with a Hot Glue Gun!

  

Life has been sort of...well, FAST...lately.  I love this little lady that I found hiding on my canvas - with her umbrella down, ready to splash in the puddles.  I know we have all heard about making glue gun masks...in this piece, I didnt want a mask, I wanted the tree to take up the positive space....the only way to do that was to draw with the hot glue gun, right onto the picture.  It adds a nice, 3 dimensional effect to her background.  I give "Drawing with a Glue Gun" TWO thumbs up!!  (Remember to gesso the glue once dry,k so that it can take additional mediums...the gesso adds the tooth that you need for other mediums to take!!) First lay on the hot glue - then use gesso to cover it, once the glue is dry.

 

Add medium to cover gesso, in this case, brown acrylic paint
