I am thinking that maybe one of these days I will paint something on a canvas again but for now the journal is the most fun. I love letters of all kinds and in my journal I am free to explore all kinds of letterforms and not worry about straight lines and consistent angles and line widths. It really doesn't matter in a journal. That's why they are FUN!
These, just like the other page of the art supplies, were drawn quickly with pencil first then with a pen. I tried not to stress about too many of the details and just get the shape and shading. I think that this class might be just the thing to help me sketch without getting that pain in my head that I always get when I draw. No pain in my head! That a good thing!
drinking my coffee and admiring your journaling pages this morning, martha... gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteI love the loose form of both the sketch and the watercolour, makes for pages that just draw you in :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely journal pages! I am really enjoying Alisa's class, too.
ReplyDeleteI think we all go through stages from journaling to sketching to some canvases. At least I know I do. And journaling is a relaxing break. Love your sketches of the apple,carrots and grapes.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to see how much you really enjoy your journals. I really love seeing them. Happy weekend...
ReplyDeleteQuickly with pencil first, then with a pen...and what did you use for the colors, Martha, watercolor paints or your magical touch with markers? And if this is a dumb question, sorry!! I LOVE these!
ReplyDeleteLovely and the colors are awesome like all of your work Martha! I am always in awe when I look at your lettering. You have such a beautiful handwriting and your journal pages are always inspiring and lovely to look at.
ReplyDeletecool, colorful, creative blog! Love the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteA lovely page Martha, I love the colours and thanks for telling us your process. It's good to change what we paint on sometimes. Gives us some fresh new ideas
