Cabin in the Hollow

Ninoum 23 Oct 2023

Merry Christmas everyone!!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ This Winter scene from Bob is magical and so beautiful!

I designed a big snow flake and 2 little ones, w/the contact paper but I am a little disappointed with the outcome. I love the painting, but not too crazy about how it came out with the contact paper. πŸ€” I added some handmade little snowflakes to fill up the blank space.

I will clean up the edges once it’s dry. Lots of bleeding in my negative space. I will also add a black outline in some areas to give more dimension to the whole thing.

I love doing/painting every single second of this project. πŸ₯°

Cute! A bright cheery crisp winter scene!

Thank you much Kelly! 😊

Thx Bob! πŸ˜ƒ I usually do cool things with the contact paper. But not today. I don't like the design. If I do this one again, It will be painted on the whole canvas, no oval, no nothing.

That's sooo good, great idea, Nancy . Top Level πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Nice work:) Did you look at the wrong month in the calendar? LOL :)

Once again Nancy, just beautiful. I would love to see this on a full canvas.

Really beautiful and unique! Great job!

What a festive idea. I am having a hard time deciding my favorite part of this painting, the awesome deep woods background or the incredible foreground path. Saving this pic in my inspiration folder :)

And I just have to mention the icicles on the sig :)

Thank you my friend! πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ😊 Glad to see you like the idea.

Thx Tom! One could think so! I never expected the turn out of this one. Once I peeled off the contact paper, my husband said that it looks like Christmas paper wrapping gift. I though so too. I guess I was unconsciously in the Christmas mood! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Thx Tomi! I think I will redo this one this week on a full canvas. I really want to see it in it’s full glory as well. 😊

Thank you Sandy! Glad you enjoy the creativity.

Awwww! Thank you very much Tony! πŸ˜ƒ Before I pealed the cp off, it looked incredible. Glad you like this version. But stay put, I think I will redo this one later on this week on the full canvas. πŸ˜€

Very pretty and a cool idea with the snowflake theme!

Thank you B! I will redo this one this week without the contact paper. This scene is so pretty. I want to see how it will look like w/out all the distractions.

Now this is a ridiculously cool silhouette. I honestly don't understand what you dislike about the design, it's awesome!
About the bleeding: Not sure if you have tried or someone suggested it yet, but after sticking on the contact paper it helps to seal the inner edge with acrylic paint of the same color as the canvas and let it dry before painting. The acrylic paint might bleed through but wont be visible since it's the same color anyway.

P.S.: Love those little icicles on your signature!

Many thx Marc!!! 😊 Happy you like the design! I will totally try that gesso sealing edges technique next time! It makes total sense! Glad you like my sig! πŸ˜‰

Great work. Love the snow flake effects

Looks great!
