Hello Friends!
Here's my weekly round up of pieces I made for Rachel Greig's Artful August Art Challenge. Gosh, there's only ten more days to go! Where does the time fly when making art?
Day 15 the prompt was Ink
I did an A5 cardstock simply using all different kinds of ink, from stamping pads, to acrylic, to pens and more. Just think ink! Neurographica and Zentangle
Day 16 prompt was Splatter
Cheap black paper with Inktense, Shimmer paint, Acrylic splatter
I was so dog tired doing this, just cobbled together, took longer to dry than make. Nearly didn't use it, then suddenly I realised I've achieved that look of galactic space that's been eluding me for many months! Up it popped when least expected!
So I did another one to experiment with as I love what I've discovered here.
Day 17 Prompt "Quote"
I kept it literal. If you've ever read any of {the remarkable} books by Gladys Taber then you'll know her beautifully written prose continually throws out short passages that make the most quotable of quotes, several on every page. I love her Stillmeadow books dearly.
If you've ever tried to stuff a courgette flower you'll know all about tightly folded flowers! Inktense
Hope you like them! As always, I'd love to know your favourite one!
Day 19 prompt is Abstract.
I chose Inktense with colour matched micron pen to outline. However, yellow didn't do so good on its own so I switched to black to outline the yellow swirls, but it's just too heavy and unbalances everything. Also, the black pen bled which resulted in me blending it out, leading to shading in all the white card, which was much more than I'd planned to do.
Day 20 prompt was Paste but I can't find my paste so did another little abstract doodle with mixed media.
Day 21 I've jumped ahead a few days on the prompt to Tissue with a mixed media piece using a tissue paper serviette as a base.
Until next time
Stay safe, stay well
