Artist Journal

I have been neglecting my etsy shop to be able to create more art in my art journal. I just love creating through each page and adding more,,,until I can finish and go on to the next one. These pages are about painting face profiles. I am really not happy with the way these came out. I need to work on face profiles more. I am obsessed with images with hearts in them right now, so a lot of my art has hearts. I tend to go with a theme until I get tired of it, and think of something else.

I think these characters have a lot of personality, but they just aren't "me" yet.   They had a need to be painted though, so here they are.  That is what journaling is about for me,,,exploring, creating, and becoming better at what I do.

Journal pages

Here are two more pages that I created in my artist journal that I am doing with my art buddy Syd. We are doing an artist collab of sorts, working in journals to each other and passing them back and fourth after we complete a couple of pages. This journal will be ready to mailed this week. I can't wait to see Syd's journal!

Leaving on a jet plane...

It's a lovely time of year to go on vacation, so I am off to Florida to spend time with BF.  I take my art supplies with me where ever I go.  It is a little cramped on the plane to do any painting but I did manage to work with my artist journal, watercolors, markers and pens.  Since we are so restricted with what we can bring on airlines, I will share with you what supplies I brought.  The first most important supply is my "Peerless Water Color" tablet.  It has sheets of watercolor on paper and you simply wet it and apply on your page.  I also used Derwert Inktense pencils.  You can wet them too with your brush and apply color to your page.  I used various pencils and markers too.  All of this fit in my travel bag,,,,,perfect!
