My selection of art to use for week 1
Gearing up for a Visual journal class I am taking. I ordered my Strathmore watercolor 140# visual journal and can't wait to get started. In lesson one we are to copy and use artwork we have created and pull together other bits of paper, type, words etc.to add to our page. Many of the originals are in ink from my sketchbooks and some of the Zentangles(R) I have done lately. I think we will be building up the page from this point.
Here are a few of the pieces I have chosen. I am looking at color combinations and possible a black/white look for a completely different effect on an other page.
My journal isn't here yet so I got started on a 140# paper to slip in when it does.
Here I cut pieces and played with the layout.
I used matte medium to attach the pieces down. Another light layer over top.
