Bokeh Technique ATC


These are my Covid 19 artist trading cards for June. 

Missing everyone, so I thought I'd reflect that in the artwork. 

The background technique I used is called bokeh. It is an effect

used in photography. 

To create the look I rubbed three different colors of oxide ink

onto the cards. Next the ink was heat set. 

Using a stencil I created with different sized circles I sponged 

white pigment ink through them onto the card. 

For the smallest circles I used a clean eraser from the end of a pencil. 

Just dipped it into the ink then onto the card.
