Today’s page is inspired by the amazing Dina Wakley. Nothing nearly as amazing as her work of course.
I cut out a silhouette of me from the photo from the end of the year (with jeans) and then taped it down and watercolored around it. I then watercolored in a different color on the top. I sprayed the circles on the left and drew some stars. There are also subtle, tiny stars inside the body. I sprayed with dark brown on the hearts and then a little drippy india ink and that was it. I am not so happy with the dripping but here we are. It’s all about playing and experimenting after all.
Weekly Art Journal is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
This is really unique. Good job!
I love the dripping!I love the way the color “travels,” with purple meeting green and somehow becoming a deep red.
It’s beautiful!
è una bellissima pagina!
grazie 🙂
Looks cool, I can totally tell the silhouette is you! Love it!
Karen, I really like this, the drips just add to the feel of it. Now I will have to do a cut out from one of my photos. Thanks for the idea.
Fabulous. 🙂 I have to say, looking at your art journal inspired me to give Julie’s Art Journal Challenge a try. Im doing very simple tags, nothing like your beautiful works of art! Thanks for the constant inspiration, Karen!
hey you know what? i think my stuff is really simple compared to many, like Julie. So it’s all a matter of perspective 🙂 i bet they are absolutely beautiful! nothing wrong with simple if you ask me!
Love your journal pages. This one is fantastic. Keep up the good work.
