……365 Days of Art continues
This morning Jill Kuhn from Jill’s Art Journal posted a work in progress that inspired me to use some more of my circles using a similar technique. Jill didn’t use collage and most of the colour came from the use of watercolours. I started by making lines and circles with my Micron pen around circles that I randomly glued to my paper. Then I used my Staedtler and Faber Castell markers to add colour.
I continued to add more colour to the larger spaces. I didn’t want to fill in every space and many of the spaces are quite large so my next step was to take a 6B Staedtler pencil and add more circles over the whole page. Here’s what I have for now. I’m debating whether to add another layer or leave it as is. In art there is a fine line between knowing when to stop and when to continue.
Now that I see it from a new perspective I might add more dark grey to the upper portion. What do you think?

Yes, always such a fine line. Hmmm… yes, a tiny bit of grey in upper area might balance grey at other end and mid area? But it’s looking fab whatever you decide 🙂

Thanks Carol for mentioning my blog 😊 I love what you did here! The collaged circles add so much to the swirls of color. I think adding a little gray in the top left corner is a great idea. 💜 You are so creative! 🎨👍 Now, I want to try this idea too! Cheers!

Go for it, Jill. I think I will add a bit more grey to balance it out. Thanks for your opinion.

I am no art critic so I would never consider critiquing someone else’s work … but I do like this. I have an affinity for circles 🙂
