Strathmore Art Journal Cover
I decided to switch gears a little bit, and pulled out a Strathmore Art Journal....and started right in on doing the cover. As I often find, with me anyway...I didn't want to "over think" what I was going to put there. I went to one of my favorite sources of inspiration...napkins! I started this picture from the bottom up. Once I had glued some of the napkin on the bottom half of the cover...an idea formed! The napkin became the bottom of a light and airy gown on this young, red-headed woman. I like the little bit of texture that a napkin adds to a page. Once the painting was done....and it is the cover, after all....I struggled with what words to add...it needed words. She looks like she's going to be doing something...fun....thus, a good theme for a blank art journal....Let The Fun Begin!!!! (I also put a coat of decoupage on the cover to protect the wear and tear on the napkin)
