ART JOURNAL EVERY DAY - a month of faces complete


HERE IS THE FINAL PART OF THE ART JOURNAL EVERY DAY MONTH OF FACES


The final 4 slots are full - 
On the left, 2 Egyptian heads inspired by pictures of tomb paintings; they are on cream water colour paper using water colour crayons and water.

The 29th June is from a photo on my mobile phone - on 28th I went to my last pottery session until September and I was desperate to finish this head  so it can dry out and be fired - I cannot list the number of decapitations, crackings and downright falling downs she has endured over the last few weeks so I think she has earned her spot!

And finally there is an ink head with lots of gloating written in it along the lines of yay I did it!


This is how the whole right hand page looks - in retrospect maybe I should have used new blank pages and worked straight into the journal instead of using the page grids I did for Strathmore Workshop2 as the dark background has been such a pain that I have frequently ignored it and stuck things over it - so I have totally cheated I suppose!






However, I am really pleased with the final spread four pages, see above - it has been a really interesting exercise and I am so pleased that  Julie Fei-Fan Balzer at Balzer Designs was such an inspiration!!

now - what to do for JULY's Art Journal Every Day!
