Scribble that sh!t out (AJP)

This was an art journal page inspired by a project I did as part of the ongoing Well Spring 2020 online course. I layered up old  torn pieces of book pages, gessoed over the top, added some acrylic paint and then topped with some random stamping and mark making.  I added some black paint and wiped back through a stencil to complete my background.  On a separate piece of card I stamped the focal image (by VLVS) and coloured it before adhering it to the page. Finally I stamped the wording (also VLVS) to complete the page.

The wording resonates with me because for the past year or so I have started out almost every project by scribbling random thoughts on the page and then covering them up with the layers of gesso, paint and other mediums. It is very therapeutic so I shall continue to scribble that shit out every time.

It was a fun exercise and I'm happy its in my play journal.

Creative Madness... I paint my Dreams (AJP)

This page was made as part of  the ongoing Well Spring 2020 online course. It is my take on the presented project. It was great fun as always to build up the layers on the page and then to add the face. I didn't have any of the stamps used in the sample project  so drew the face and used her head as a paint pot, with the colour dripping down. My face drawing still leaves a lot to be desired - I am horrible at noses and the features are a bit wonky, but hey, nobody's perfect!

I really liked this page and every time I look at it, it makes me smile

Until next time, stay safe

I wish more people were fluent in silence (AJP)

I did this art journal page on Wednesday. I was just messing around building layers and textures at the sides of the page with torn paper, topped with fibres mixed into a little modelling paste and gesso. The colour came from just two colours of Dylusions sprays (post box red and sunshine) and when everything was dry I went over the textured parts with inca gold. The focal image was made with a stencil from Tando Creative. I used markers for hair , lips and glasses and white paint for her hair, Glossy accents on lips and glasses to finish it off. The title words are from Tim Holtz snarky sayings.

I enjoyed making this page and was pleased with how it came out.
Until next time
