Becoming completely stumped by one of the Journal 52 prompts, I had a tough time getting back into the challenge. Finally, after much encouragement from the group and my friend Pat, I have completed a few more pages.
This prompt is actually from Week 8: Found Poetry, which means that I am doing them out of order but at least I am doing them ;)
This one came together in a snap. It must been because I love finding poetry! I did not prep my page with Gesso. I used watercolor paints straight onto the watercolor paper, mostly Cerulean Blue with a tad bit of Green Light for some faint highlights.
Using my fingertip, I smeared a little Gesso around the edges to give it a softer, cloudy feel. It just looked harsh without it.
So there's my Week 8: Found Poetry.
I think I have three more weeks completed but need to edit my pictures. I do hope you're having some fun crafting or painting or whatever creative outlet you enjoy.
It's a gorgeous time of year to start gardening, too. Pat is giving me some strawberry plants this week, so you might end up seeing how I decide to plant them this year. Pinterest is great for getting new ideas.
Have a blessed day in the Lord!
This is quite perfect, yesterday I bought an International New York times paper from our grocery store for the English and News :-) but more specifically for the poetry that I forget the name of as you've done here, I love your poem. glad you are doing your pages..
ReplyDeleteI like it. You are very creative. Keep on keeping on :) !
ReplyDeleteHi Anne! This is just beautiful! I love the colors, and how you used the map too. I am coming to really enjoy mixed media art. I really respond to the deep colors. You certainly let the winds carry you to this project.
