ART JOURNAL CHALLENGE THIRTY SIX

Welcome to this week’s art journal page.

1. I started the page with some simple line drawings of windows at the bottom and the vertical and horizontal lines.  I drew around my windows twice to add a bit of dimension to the shape.

2. I used a pan pastel and Sofft knife to colour in some shading on the windows. I only did parts of the corners of each so some white from the page would show through.

3. I then added 2 different blue pan pastels at the top.

4. I then used watercolour paints to colour in the scallop line.  I also used watercolour paint out of a tube to colour the green background.

5. I used a black watercolour to colour in the black vertical line and also to grunge up the green a bit.  I also coloured some black around each window shape.

6. I added some stamping with the yellow paint/chicken wire stamp (more are coming soon to the store) and aI also added some vine stamps with Versafine ink using an old BasicGrey stamp set.

7. I added some cherryArte Snapshot rubons -with the long black lines and the black bird. (only $1.00 per set in the store)

8. I added a Crafters Workshop stencil flower in the top right hand corner with a pan pastel.

9. I stamped a Tim Holtz frame stamp with brown ink and then coloured in the centre with white gesso. I also drew around the edge of the white gesso section with a black pen and also added in a bit of black shading with charcoal so the white section wasn’t so stark.

10. I then added a quote in the centre with a micron black pen.
