Hi Everybody!
Hope you are having a good weekend, and that the weather is being kind to you!
For Art Journal Journey, masculine-feminine, and for Mix it Monthly, face profile, I have made another mixed media journal page. The background was painted with gesso and then giving a wash of blue and green mixed. I then spritzed some darker blue onto the page and added some pieces of hand-written paper which I waxed and ironed to make it transparent. I drew the face with a black uniball gel pen. I find it very hard to draw faces, especially in profile, but I tried. I coloured the face and hair with pastel chalks.
I am also linking to Kim Dellow's Art it Friday, show your Face and to Moo Mania and More, anything goes.
Today I got very wet on my walk, and was able to get three drippy photos of the roses in the hospital gardens before I had to pack away the camera
These are the ones from yesterday, taken with my phone - and when the weather was better:
Have a great day you all, take care.
and thanks a lot for coming by!
beautiful painting and gorgeous flowers!
