I’ve been experimenting with new ways to make cards. After making watercolour washes on cards I’ve cut out drawings that I’ve made with ink and glued them onto the card over the wash. Using my Micron pen I’ve added more details to the card.
Today we were to take our watercolour papers from Day 1 and find shapes that can be turned into fantasy creatures. I found an old man, a lamb, a fish, a gorilla and a couple birds.
I stayed up late last night working on this piece and finished it when I got back from baking at the Inn and taking my three woven pieces to the art gallery.
Not everything that I post will be good. I do feel, however, that I should post my artworks, good or bad so that I can see and have a record of my progress. I know that I’m not a particularly good artist when I draw realistic subjects but I’d like to get better so I’m going to try to improve my drawing skills. Instead of flowers I’m going to try my hand at animals.
My first attempt in my Art Journey for 2025 is that of a Frenchie. I also went back to the collage that I had started up at the cottage and added more marks and a couple of old photographs that I came across when I was sorting through my collage papers.
