Paint Party Friday

Lots of different things going on in the studio this week.




















Some doodling I did with markers. I wanted to start using my markers more and I think I used every kind of marker here.  Aqua markers, Sharpies, Copic etc. I got the idea for sea urchins on Pinterest.  I like the idea of just repeating an image in various sizes and form.




















A face in oil pastel. I created this on Fabriano hot press paper with Sennelier oil pastels. I am trying to get better at profile views. So its practice and more practice.




















A tag with the theme board games. I used papers, cards and Faber- Castell gelatos and embellished with a chines coin.





















Some work in my art journal. This is in my new journal. I used gelatos, tissue paper, paper scraps and more.  It was a fun page to do.  I love the quote by Van Gogh.

"I am always doing what I can't do
 so I may learn how to do it."  

That is my art journey in a nutshell. I want to do something so I try try and try again.

  6. Hi Kate, I am going to try again. I was typing way too fast in the comment above.

    All of your pieces are beautiful but the first one speaks to me today. I think it is the really bright colors that catch my attention and make me feel happy. Have a great weekend.
