…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

Posted on March 16, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…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 41 – Adding a Face to a Collaged Page

Posted on February 28, 2025 by Mama Cormier

This is one of my prep pages that I showed a few days ago. I first added some more colour and marks with watercolour and I used my Micron Pens and Sharpies to draw in a face and flowers.

Day 36 – Extending the Lines

Posted on February 23, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…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.
