Art Journal - Shapes and Compositions

Art_Journal_Shapes011.jpg

Here is a cute 8'X8' art journal I made on Misty Mawn new workshop, using collage, acrylics and stabilo pencil. Backgrounds were created with paynes gray, titanium buff and raw umber, using scraper, then added collage, stamps, stencils, washi tapes, and drawings. It took 2 hours of preparation and 8 of execution and was lots of fun. 16 pages of yummy ideas on what to paint on a large scale next. And yay - I discovered I can paint a whimsical face! I thought I can only do realistic ones, and just look at these!

Few completed art projects.

Photographic project, titled "Day in my life" was fun and fairly easy one to do. I did some photoshop enhancement on the orange color and it came out quite well:

1st week of Full Circle Workshop

My goodness, 300 people on Facebook of this workshop, there is so much artwork posted, I hardly manage to see everything. The workshop is very inspirational like all Misty Mawn's workshops, they are always above any expectation and I am already so driven to do various creative yummy stuff - I cannot stop! What I created on the 1st week:

Poem01a

This was assignment on who you were before and who you became (photography and poetry).

Mandala01

My first Mandala.

Following project is not part of Misty's workshop, but I did it anyway, because it was fun. I took my baby's formula jars and re-purposed them. First I painted them in cream acrylic paint (house paint from hardware store), then chose from selection of my napkins (and I am embarrassed to admit how many napkins I've collected). I glued the napkins on the tins using acrylic gel medium, but you can use modge podge as well. That's it! Can be used as pot for plants, containers for utensils or art brushes - anything you want really!
