Art Deco Lady

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well and enjoying the weekend.
I’ve not been very well for the last couple of weeks, I caught a nasty virus from somewhere, I’ve not been able to get out and have spent most of the time in bed or under a blanket on the settee. No crafting has been done in my room but I’ve managed to do some embroidery which has made a nice change. I’ve started to feel a little better so hopefully I’ll be more my old self by the end of next week.

I’ve been looking through my photos and found a few projects that haven’t been blogged yet so I’ll share A couple of them with you.

The two spreads were made for the Art Journal Summer School 2019.

I drew the lady and painted her with acrylic paint, the background was made with bits of paper and painted. The left page is just a piece of patterned paper that I wrote on.

For this lesson we had to see what colours we could make with four watercolours.

Thank you for visiting, have a lovely weekend. xxx

AJSS19 - Lesson One

The Art Journal Summer School 2019 started on July 1st, the course is run by Marieke Blokland at the Bloknote Academy
I have the work that I did for lesson one to share with you today.

For the first lesson we were looking at Art Nouveau and had to create a shell pattern. I used acrylic paint, coloured pencils, a white Posca marker and a fine black marker.

We also had to doodle a title page.

Thank you for visiting, have a lovely day. xxx
