Sharing my completed art journal page for this week.
Last week was coloured pencils (right up my alley) in the “Supplies Me” workshop I am doing with Jane Davenport.
This whole thing is about letting go being free and experimenting with different materials and learning new skills and hence the “Be Free” in the drawing. We learned about drawing faces and backs and bottoms and all about pencils. It’s so fun just enjoying the creativity these aren’t supposed to be works of art just a bit of fun.
I love this girl though I think she will be popping up in a few of my future works.
For those who are interested in the technical stuff
…
I mainly used coloured pencils on my page which was primed with medium.
It doesn’t allow me to get on as many layers as i am used to with the coloured pencil but does allow me to use other materials like the inktense pencil and a bit of watercolour in the backround. I used Zest-it to blend some of the pencil which was interesting normally the Zest-it blends all of the layers and kinda soaks right into the layers of the paper. As I had the medium on it really just kinda stayed on the top of the paper and didnt blend in as much went to more like paint. The love heart under the works you can see went quite vibrant. I also noticed a difference on the pages on the left where i had Gesso on the previous page to on the right where i didnt, you can see the difference in the way it blends and how many layers i could get on.
Heaps o fun, this week is watercolour week and I already have found a new way of working that I have been searching for, that is quick and easy and vibrant and absolutely loving!!!
