Famous people: Elizabeth l

Hello...

Brrr what a cold night here in UK, went down to -4.3c (Essex coast).
It's warmer now that sun trying to peep through cloud but still very cold - a good excuse to stay in warm and do something arty for a change instead of digital- huh who needs an excuse eh?  :)

Linking up today to  Moo Mania and more  for their fun 'Famous people' challenge. I was struggling with this as I know I couldn't draw anything to look like a real famous person but then stumbled upon some images on cd :)

This digital piece made using an image of Elizabeth l from cd, added a quote supposedly by her and used some pieces from a digital kit called 'Dreams and Goals' by Dawn Inskip    blended a paper from kit over image to get a grungy effect.


  
I'm off now to play with my new Rembrandt soft pastels that I got in November - have been dying to try them out.
Have a great day and hope you can get some time for some arty fun too.

Thanks as always
for stopping by

  4. Love the hazy layering of the image - it has a real look of distressed antiquity.

  6. This is fantastic. I think Elizabeth I was an interesting woman, and I love the style of her time. It is so regal and works out perfect for art. I love the little bird near her hand! Hugs!

  8. Very fun design and images used. I learned a lot about her during my many History classes in college. Some of what I learned is mind blowing! The sentiment is perfect! Haha! Hugz. ~Niki
