This week (Feb 3-9) I managed to stay creative:
#34 - working in my moleskin - quote lettering colored in with inktense watercolor pencils.
#35 - rediscovering my long-neglected art journal - the backgrounds are brayer clean-off pages
#36 - starting an acrylic painting on a 12x12 canvas - I'm liking the layers in this early phase.....
#37 - some digital play with a photo I took of a clematis pod....
#38 - a little more complex digi art; started with a photo, added textures, scanned artwork of mine, changed colors and then added a scrapbooking element - the tree. All the layers ended up looking like I wish my gelli prints would look :) (the hint of a face is of a foo dog statue photo I took in China)
#39 - documented life, week 6 - create something inspired by a Pinterest image
Okay, this was hard! I have thousands of images pinned on my boards and choosing one - sheesh. I finally settled on something recent. Donna Downey is having a class and shares her students' work on a theme - I played along.....
Inspiration:
Mine - collaged text pages for a base, acrylic paints.
#40 - progress on my dyptych
It's my first attempt at using deli paper and I'm a fan! I wasn't sure it was the right kind (though I got it at Costco) and one side is waxy and the other side is matte. So I used a marker and experimented writing on both sides, then used matte medium to attach to the canvas. The stripes were created with blue painter tape. Again - I like some portions and others, not so much. More work needed.
Fun week with a variety of artsy things....hope you got to explore new things too!

What a wonderful artsy week indeed. I would love to have been with you. page 38 made me smile I wish my gelli prints would look something like this too! Your lettering is lovely.
ReplyDeleteBusy as always. Learning more each day.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you're staying busy. I quite like the lettering and the red digital piece. The tree and moon spread is neat too.
