This is How I Roll with my Angels

There was a time not too long ago when, if you asked my son about something he was doing, he would say, “That is how I roll”

As I am looking back over the week, my first week of summer with extra days and time to play, I am seeing a common theme… Wood Distressed angels. Yep, I guess that is just how I roll these days!!

I am really trying to use up things I have here in the house instead of buying more supplies, so I find these packs of long wood pieces that I bought last year but didn`t use. Perfect to create more angels on and use for ornaments later, or on a bookshelf, just sitting..

In keeping with my color scheme, of neutrals , I used light grey, shades of brown and a buff blue.

First I painted the wood all black. love to start this way. Then I either used a white colored pencil to draw the image or just started painting with white gesso, the shape I was thinking. Then… painted with acrylics  or water colored the image. Next, palette knifed the white for the wings… Some of them, I painted that buff blue on top  of her, mixed with some white paint randomly…. Then a sealant spray and they are finished and ready…

 

 

Enjoyed doing the backward Bob girl…. cute haircut!!

I know most of them do not have arms, you just have to imagine them being behind them, but they do have feet!
