Sea Turtle Silhouette by Anne

by | Silhouette Rocks, Tutorials

Sea Turtle silhouette – have you seen one in the ocean ? We did once snorkeling by the Gili Islands off the coast of Bali.
And the GoPro battery died but we had no idea it had … but as a family we did tease each other with – likely story ? you know the one that got away and three years later we still tease each about it ?? but it was a beautiful moment ???
Instructions are under each photo –
Here is a hint on adding the resist
i have done this technique on both smooth and porous rocks with quite a thick layer- the thicker the better to have something to grip to pull off . Makes the finish quite rubbery .
Thin layers don’t pull off easy in the beginning but if left long term it hardens and can crack .
PVA – Polyvinyl acetate is an aliphatic rubbery synthetic polymer – it is the rubbery texture that helps it peel off .
White PVA Glue is often weakened by moisture and will get weaker over time if exposed to moisture.

Use a black colour pen and outline  the image, Great pens for outlines are Posca 1m, !mr or the 0.7m size in Tooli-Art or Artistro.

And if you want to add a touch of highlight –  pop on a few dots and dashes of white paint .

Colour on your rock – I have just painted a nice even layer. You do not want to paint it to thick. The more layers on the rock the more chance it has of peeling off later as the water in the base evaporates. Click on the image below to find out how best to paint on rocks!

Shading makes all the difference to the end result. Adds depth to the Image.
I use clean water and a size 2 or 4 filbert taklon paintbrush click on the below image to learn the technique – or head to YouTube to watch how I do the shading.
