Hello! Did you miss me? I’ve been around just not keeping up with the digital world. Summer is passing so quickly and it seems as if the appointments and events are multiplying on the calendar. This seems to happen every year at this time.
I finally was inspired to do some art journaling. I started with a page I had used to clean my brushes and palette on during a long ago project. Having that base of color gives a jumpstart on building the layers that give depth to a page.
After putting down some more colors it was a little too “in your face” for me. I took some white paint on my finger and mellowed out some areas. The end result made me much more happy than the beginning loudness.
I found the image of the old cowboy in a bin and thought his color scheme meshed well.
Then it was the hunt for the perfect found text to give life to the page.
I thought these words spoke to the worn down look of the old cowhand.
Seeing the various layers you created made this spread really come to life. I was so surprised you put that white on with your finger. I was especially impressed with the white circles inside the colored circles. That must have taken a steady finger! I was very impressed with the color of this beauty, and laughed at the found words.
I love the layered background. I’m amazed how much depth there can be on a flat surface.
You really did a nice job with the layering, and you already know I am impressed with your word play. The cowpoke looks like he’s had a long hard day on the range! Happy T Day!
Great layering for that cool background and perfect pages for your fun cowboy too!
