More drawing in my journal!

Yes, I still need to knit my sweater but I'm having fun filling in  my gelli print journal pages!  

I think this pic might be upside down but you'll get what the page looked like before I started!

I used the circles to draw flowers...no particular flower...just my made up one!  HA

I also used my Faber-Castel crayons to color in the edges of the papers.  I love those crayons...forgot I had them!  Who knew!  They are in my dye room on shelves with other pens and crayons.

This was another page printed and in the journal.  It too could be upside down.  HA

Just played with more flowers.  I need more practice for sure..

I used Neocolor pencils to color in some areas and then used a wet brush to blend.  

OK, so I'll get back to knitting for a few days...then back to the journal.  I'm going to have to add more pages...but that's not a problem.  I have an entire Rubbermaid container full of papers I made back in Hilary's online classes!

 

Drawing - Not my favorite thing to do!

Those who know me also know I don't like drawing!  I cannot draw...I'm not good at it...nor will I ever.  I've always said I trace so well!  BUT...Hilary (in our online MIP Yr 2 class) has us doing some sketching in this week's lesson from some of the photo's that we like.  Well, guess that's my first problem...I'm not sure what I like or what theme I want...so I am all over the place right now!  HA

But I did give it a go yesterday!  I have some other photos that I will use for my inspiration and hope they'll turn out better than these...but just wanted to share my weak attempts, as I know there are others who feel as I do.  It's still a great exercise and who knows what will come of these.  We'll be cropping and drawing more in the next two weeks!  Fingers crossed!

This was a picture on FB from Visual Cortex.  This is a really cool site and wonderful visual art pictures!!!  Check them out!

This is a photo from CardStock.com.  A floral abstract which I really liked...I want to add more to it but for now I think there are areas I can crop for a design.

This is 50's vintage fabric pattern I thought was interesting...but shoot I can't even draw the flowers the way they should!  HA

Oh well...stay safe and stay home!!!
