My little tribute to my favourite novels and tv show.
These are the loose pages that came off while I was gluing the pages together. I glued them together too and used this page to dispose of extra paint left after my first page.
And then this happened. Fleur de lis is a bit askew because I initially intended to trim the left side, but I didn't. Not the best page I've ever done, but I like the texture. All colours are gouache paint, except for yellow - pencil.
This is the page that I did yesterday. I saw this line somewhere on tumblr, so I take no credit for that. (Not sure if I should add more colour to the butterflies or not.)
Both this one and the previous page were gessoed. I am learning the process and quite enjoying. The only downfall is that gesso and some paints smell funny and this is not a good thing as I develop headaches easily from weird smells.
These are my most recent (and most favourite pages). The top left one was inspired by Alice in Wonderland ballet that I watched about 3 weeks ago.
I realized that I enjoy doodling circles the most. Those black circles took me ages!
The last two pages (or page spreads) were done in Montreal. I was inspired by the orientalism exhibition in the fine arts museum. Tried to reproduce one of the patterns and came up with something different myself.
I also go through “art journal” and wtj tags on tumblr to look for ideas.
