Darling Boy and I drew together last night and I started the visual journaling I have been wanting to try. I didn’t do any writing, which I think I should. I found a picture of a fabric flower (fusing probably) in a catalog and have had it pinned to my design wall for ages. I thought of creating an applique’, but never did. The first step to an applique’ is a drawing, so I did some drawings using different media last night.
Felt tips pens.
Felt tips pens.
Colored pencils and chalk pencils.
Crayons.
The drawings didn’t come out the way I expected, but I am not disappointed with the results. I still have the CPS article in my mind and my drawings look very different. If I am going to do much of this, I will have to stop comparing my drawings to anyone else’s and become comfortable with my own style.
Funny how different they all look – just goes to show you that you need LOTS AND LOTS of art supplies because you never know what mood you will need when you are making art!
I agree that different media look different. It was kind of odd how the whole thing evolved. I started with the first picture and then just kind of naturally moved on to the next and the next.
