The theme for April
at Art Journal Journey is ‘The Landscape within.’ I have been a bit pushed for time and decided
to flip through and see if any of my unfinished pieces I could use for this
theme. Gulp, I have so many pieces that are unfinished or unresolved! I finally found one I thought I could work
with. It was a page that I had abandoned
as I felt that the eyes were too small and didn’t match up (Yes you have seen
this girl before; I redid her in autumn colours a while back). I have real problems sometimes to get the
eyes to match, hehe – cross eyed beauties!
Also she looked as if her cheek was swollen!
So I got to and
used acrylics, gouache and watercolour pencils and painted, splattered and
stamped to my heart’s content. I decided
she was rather like a mermaid and decided to bring her in with two
stencils. One of favourite ways of
creating stencils is to cut out with an art scalpel, elements that take my
fancy in glossy magazines. I find that
they can take being messed around with paint a few times. The palm tree I cut out from a travel
brochure and the leaves thing was from an ad.
