Inspired Me

Happy day to you all. Today, I am presenting some of my mixed media art paintings. After doing so many fun journal pages, I wanted to try doing a painting using my leftover paper pad backs. They are a hard cardboard and great to practice as I head toward creating on a canvas. I created a collage affect as the base with book pages and/or patterned paper. The faces were done separately and then I cut them out and added. Some of the faces I did with colored pencil and others I painted. Still learning how to paint their faces and added shadowing, too. Also, I liked mixing inspiration words and text with these images. So here they are. Which is your favorite??? Click on the pictures for a enlarged view.     God's Delight This was my very first one. I like the metallic gold on her turban and earrings. I also added that gold on the edges. I like how the book text is peeking through. Peaceful    Don't you feel the peace? Love the...

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a nice week. Today I am sharing more of my art journal pages. I have been watching Claudia Rossi and MISSMITCHELL1989 on YouTube. They have some fantastic tutorials showing how to transfer your drawings to your journal or canvas. So I was excited to try it out. Since I have been drawing a lot this was a perfect next step for me.  I loved drawing, coloring, cutting out and then pasting these faces in my journal.  Also, such a time saving idea. I liked this face so much I had to paint her twice! LOL! And not sure why I am hooked on pink & purple hair but I love it! I does fit with mood of the pages of "Being bold and unique." Hope like checking them out and many feel inspired too. Loved all the drippage! I added a few jewels to make earrings. I love her hair and those eyes! Her skin tone turned out nice, too. I used my colored pencils. Thanks for visiting and have a lovely weekend!

Fall is coming soon. I can feel it in the air and I am happy. I did have a good Summer and went to a few fun places. With all the art journaling and drawing I have been doing, it was fun to make a few scrapbook pages. A few weeks ago, we went to our favorite shopping center Fashion Island in Newport Beach, CA. We had a ball!  Here are a few pages from my day. Loved the bright colors and painting on the page. I added white paint to the edge of the pics. I liked drawing the stems and leaves, too. I was stamping and stamping! I used my black glitter powder to heat emboss the butterflies. I used popped dots of the two butterflies. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
