Art Journal
A Girl, A Table & A Vase of Flowers
Magazine Inspiration
Watercolor pencils, water soluble crayons
Who doesn't love a vase filled with cut flowers in their home....I tore the photo of this vase of flowers out of one of my magazines. Last night I drew a sketch and started to color it. I changed it up a bit. The background was entirely different shades of water soluble crayons. There was no girl in the painting when I thought I was finished with it last night. But when I went to look at it this morning....I could see a girl in the background and I had to bring her into the painting. It's funny how these things happen. I still wanted to keep her in the background, but I think she makes the painting more interesting. When I finished this a little while ago, I didn't want to throw away the beautiful photo, so I trimmed it and glued it to the opposite page, added a little color around the left side of it and then wrote about the art I created. This is the early stages...
I need a lot more practice with faces, so I kept hers pretty vague. Actually, I need to work on my flowers too!
Here's another journal entry. Jungle Boy with Bird. My sister thinks he looks like Frida Kahlo's son would have looked...she calls him Fred Kahlo. I have painted this exact same face in another journal with a Russian hat....I really need to work on faces. I wasn't going to show this one but might as well. A journal is what it is.
Actually, the picture above...partial face and bird...I like better than the entire head. I have to remember that next time....not to paint the entire face on the page. I do like my bird.
I like making up birds....he looks like he has some place special to go. Bye, bye birdie!
