Nothing like waiting to the last minute or the final hour to work on the Art Journal Journey theme for this month… TIME
Honestly I wasn’t working directly towards the theme but after placing the focal image down the idea that she was in a hurry came to mind. Then it was just a point of find the right words to fit her look.
I find it ironic that the happens to be an ermine on the page….part of the weasel family…often associated with being sneaky. Fun how things work out sometimes.
I had no idea where this page was going other than I wanted to use some new paint daubers and a black spray I picked up on clearance at Michael’s. Once I got the colors on I let the page sit a few days not know what to do with the dark mess I had created.
I knew I needed to lighten things up a bit…scrapbook paper to the rescue. What am I actually supposed to scrapbook with that stuff?? Really?
I noticed the eyes of this model almost exactly matched the green on the page…kismet. All that was left were some clever words to finish the page.
I’m going to link up with Art Journal Journey with this one since I feel as if I’ve touched on the theme of Masculine/Feminine. A man’s “thoughts” speaking of this woman.
I’m playing along with Art Journal Journey again. The theme is masculine/feminine.
I started this background for a different challenge then abandoned it as it wasn’t going the direction I had envisioned. This gave me a great starting point to draw a face.
I’m certainly not great at faces but drawing with the eyes closed certainly helps. The way I figure is if I keep trying they’ve got to improve over time!
I added some paper and fabric collage with some found text to balance out the pages.
