Paper art (Sea storm)
MacroMondays#Paper art
Everything you see in the picture I made with paper, glue and paint. The boat, sails and mast are made of plain writing paper and the sea is made of baking paper. For a few days I was trying with a different type of paper to get something that would really look like sea waves. Baking paper behaves like greasy and hardly absorbs color. Eventually I soaked it in water to which I added Easter egg paint and squeezed it well. In places where the paper was tighter, it was white, so I didn't have to bother painting the sea foam. In order not to be visible the crumpled paper and to make everything look like in a water mist created by the waves, I used a 31mm macro ring and I moved the focus point .
In order to follow the 3-inch rule, I had to cut off part of the mast and a small flag at the top because I originally imagined the scene as a calm sea, but during the work it turned out that the weather had to change and the storm started :-)
HMM!
