Yes, a real journal page. Last year, I got myself a smaller version of the Strathmore Visual Journal--it's a 5 x 8 size--so a little more manageable size. I have the mixed media one--I love the paper in this--you can do anything you want to it. And I decided to use all of these art supplies that I have, but have been afraid to touch, because I don't know how to use them. I've said this before....I always love when I'm making art for myself....I always like it (most of the time).
watercolors, Prismacolor NuPastels (these are awesome to work with!), and Prisma colored pencils....the best part--mixing all of these mediums together. And....this is actually the second journal girl that I've done in this book--you can see the first one HERE .
Plus, I have 2 new art pieces for my Etsy shop. I'm still going with the black, red, and cream theme with the help of my painted papers, and some ephemera that I found when I was cleaning.
Okay..I'm rambling again....I'll just show you the rest of these art pieces...
....on these very deep 6 x 6 canvases from Dick Blick
......mixing my painted papers with stamps and ephemera......
.....and I've added some 3D embellishments...
So here are my 2 finished pieces that are in my shop. I've had a very nice welcome back from customers, and I just wanted to add a couple of more items.
So my "clean" art room is back to being a mess again, but in a good way. I'm making art to sell, but I'm also attending my online art classes, which means that I have different projects all going on at the same time. My once large art room is now becoming very small...but that's okay.....that's what an art room should be like!
