21 Days in My Art World – 1 to 7
I recently participated in #21daysinmyartworld challenge – thought I’d put some of my replies here:
Day 1 – my favourite picture – the one above – I wish this had been a canvas instead of a recycled Xmas card. Read about it Here.
Day 2 – what I’ve learned. I learned to honour and bring out all the creatures that appeared as I worked. See finished page Here.
Day 4 – book. I bought this when in Vienna few years ago but am delighting in its lavishness. G8 contrast to my grunge but I do feel some gold paint coming on lol
Day 5 – favourite tool. I love using this tiny tooth flossing tool for drawing with ink esp for text. It gives a nice wobbly line often with unpredictable blobs – go figure.
Day 6 current challenge. I often get stuck on whether the creature I see should be painted to be visible or whether it would be better to paint out the background. Decisions decisions!
Day 7 palette. Short answer is I don’t have one! I like to use lots of different colours – if only I could remember how I did them later esp when I like it like the one below. As for the other kind of palette I use an old CD so good to hold with your finger through the hole.
