A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
5″x7″ art journal pages for a swap I’m in… our chosen them was flowers. She will attach these pages to pages in her own art journal… because sending a beloved art journal out into the world for others to work in is exciting, but a huge risk! I used some old foreign book pages for the background of one because the recipient specifically said she likes them. I hope she will like what I’ve come up with! I’m really happy with them. I love doing stuff like this.
I saw this technique in a youtube video… you splatter color onto a dry page, then use a wet brush to push it around into a light loose wash. Once fully dry, you do an ink line drawing on top and shade with more color. The result can be much more interesting than a line drawing and watercolor on a white page. This isn’t a great representation, but I made several backgrounds and then tried a quick sketch. I’ll try more of these on my other backgrounds.
