Art in a journal

After my creative session on the 2. of January I have continued working on different journal pages.

The session was a kind of boost of ideas.

Here come some of the pages I have been working on, mostly today.

The above page (unfinished) is inspired from the session, both colours and technique have been used the other day.

Nr. 2is a mixed media painting starting with pastels in blue and brown, painting over with yellow acrylic. I used a feather to draw fine lines with writing ink, added more pastel and acrylic, detailing spots with a pencil and an oil pastel pen. An interesting process (not finished)

Another example of mixed media with the same material as above (unfinished).

Drawn with a feather and watered down acrylic, something I've never tried before. Actually a great discovery which I would like to use more often. It makes truly fine lines and I can choose any colour I want!

Owl painting in progress, still a lot of work to be done here!

Had a happy PAINT PARTY FRIDAY :-)

Wish the same to you at:

Inspiration from around

Creative play dough-walldecoration

I've done some playing around with different backgrounds and colors. The first two pictures are made from a mono print done at school with a wide brush and acrylic. 

Some of the pictures are taken on an intermediate stage (the pages aren't finished) ;-)

The first page was colored with water color,

on the second page I used pastels and tea. 

A friend of mine has been to Australia and taken a lot of photos of plants and animals, which she shared with me, as she knows I like to draw/paint, integrating nature in my work. Thank you, Eva!!!

So you can guess that this locust is from Australia. 

Newspaper strips collage on black foundation/art journal, painted with acrylic and black oil pastel.

In the week end I made some tags (the first ones that are really finished) for my sister and my niece

who've had birthday in December and I have chosen to give them a creative session for their birthdays. I am really looking forward to having a great time and crafting with some wonderful beings.

The last picture is a portrait of a girl in two different media, pastel and water color.

I find she is my favorite girl :-)
