Slow drawing is very relaxing.
Using Stitching and Crochet for the Repetition Challenge
…Days 59 and 60 of my daily art challenge
BB Bash suggested that we could use hand stitching to demonstrate repetition. I’ve been using hand and machine stitching in my art for awhile. The hand stitching on this black card stock was very loose.
The crocheted hat is a continued repetition of half double crochet stitches.
Day 58 – Using Scraps
…the theme for Lesson 3 for BB Bash
Over the years I have learned to save my scraps from my collage projects. I’ve put down many layers for these two ‘scrap’ pieces’. I had no plan or theme in mind. It was completely intuitive.
Repetition – Lesson 2 of the BB Bash
…day 57 of my daily art challenge
In this class we were suppose to choose a shape, mark or symbol and repeat it using any medium that we wanted. In the first piece I chose circles and paint markers.
In the next two pieces I used lines and symbols.
Day 56 – The Business Side of Art
…making and packing cards to sell
I also put a couple of my Fantasy Art pieces onto cards.
Day 55 – Getting Messy
…day 1 of a new course
BB Bash is a free 14 day course for mixed media artists intended to break the rules, trust your instincts and create confidence.
The first exercise was to get messy. Don’t try to control what goes on the paper. Don’t think about it. Just lay down colour, marks and experiment with different tools.
