Tie Dye Take Two

Mireya

I like the spirit of what tie dye represents. A symbol of empowerment. Now more that eveR we need to feel empowered. We always do.

Never have I enjoyed using ink so much.

Notes

Peace: use watercolor pencils to color in layers

Happy: mixing ink with water

Tie Dye : adding ink droplets on trasparent watercolor

Experimentation on a larger scale

These are fun letters. Watercolor is like Tie Dye. You layer and layer. There’s lots of color. You add droplets of water, more color, and I added a little salt crystals. You have to wait till it dries for the magic to happen. Different beautiful results every time!

Not sure how I’ll use this background but it’s beautiful!

Add details with acrylic,salt, stamp, and pencils.

What is Tie Dye? A symbol of self expression. A countercultural movement. A rejection of social injustice, norms, capitalism and violence. No wonder Tie Dye is so popular these days.

This is a great article. I have to paint more of these. Let me scan this.
