Dig Deep and Get Your Hands Dirty

…day 72 of my art journey

I’m taking another online art class with Julie Liger-Belair. She specializes in collage. Here is my first assignment.

Kevin and I met in 1973…I came across this photo of the two of us the year we met

Daily Art Challenge – Collage and Sketching

…days 51 to 53

Drawing figures from pieces of collage randomly glued onto the page

After reading the book The Dictionary of Lost Words I was inspired to create a double spread of collage and sketches that highlight some of the themes from Pip Williams’ book. The novel covers the making of the Oxford dictionary, protests by the suffragettes, World War 1, women as second class citizens, birth, death and romance.

Day 36 – Extending the Lines

completing one of my prep pages

Several years ago I took a Lino block printing class. I carved out branches on the block and made a few prints but I never did anything with the prints until today.

I glued the print into my journal and added more collage papers and Inchies. This evening I extended the branches with my markers and added black, white and gold lines and marks.

Four More Days of Art

….days 32 to 35

From simple shapes to colour blobs, and more prep pages of collage and adding marks and text to a watercolour background.
