Nurturing your artist self with Jeanne-Marie Webb. Very daunting lesson for this week. It was supposed to be a self portrait but I followed along the lesson. Very interesting way of building a face. Learned a lot and most of all that just going makes it work (most of the times anyway :-))
Written intentions with Annie Hamman. Such a talented artist…Her lesson is a bit daunting to me but I decide to just start and play. Although it isn’t really a happy face, I do like the outcome!
Healing recipes with Mariëlle Stolp. I love this artist and her work and was happy to work along with her video. Will make a few more of these girls for sure!
Wild lands with Jo Klima. Very much out of my comfort zone but I enjoyed working with the paint markers! Fun new medium!
Musical lines with Flora Bowley. Very fast and freeing lesson! Listen to your favorite music, close your eyes and let your pencils/markers/crayons do the work…After that, find shapes with acrylics. Loved this!
Enduring Marks with Mystele Kirkeeng. Very interesting process. Many layers of marks related to an emotion that I have been struggling with as long as I remember. Shame. This is not finished. The last step is to ‘extract’ something from these marks. A person, a face, an animal, a tree etc. Though I might have an idea I can’t let that happen yet…too attached to what it is right now. So I’ll let it sit for a while…
Messages from our inner muse with Andrea Gomoll. What a fun lesson! I followed the lesson and still she isn’t a copy… So glad to see a bit of ‘me’ in her 😍. The background is made with modeling paste and acrylic inks. The girl was made separately, cut out and glued on the background. The girl is colored with Neocolor II. The words were printed and cut out.
I came so far for beauty. Very interesting process…I usually am not a big fan of layering but this was different… this time it felt like each layer represented an actual part of my self discovery which spoke to me very much.
A lesson from one of my favorite artists, Katrina Koltes. Didn’t think I was able to do this, but I am…
Getting more and more in the flow of art journaling again…
