I haven't posted any pages from my art journal for over a month. I did some art journaling and doodling in June, but when July came I wasn't very inspired and at the end of July due to some circumstances I had to pack all of my things. All of my art stuff is still packed. I did sneak out one journal and a handful of pens.
So here are some of my weirdly dimensional doodles in the park.
God help me, I bought more art supplies!
My first acrylic paints (already tried them and they are so smooth!) and I am almost done with my current art journal, so I purchased two. Once is very heavy thick paper perfect for mixed media (on the left), and the other is a sketchbook but is also suitable for light washes (on the right). And pens. More pens. And finally a white permanent marker that actually works! Sadly it is not a fine tip, but I am managing.
I also got glossy gel medium. Which is awesome but it is sooo sticky and disgusting when it gets on my fingers. Worse then glue :(
But I am very excited and I am already trying all of these :D
I started it during my trip to Niagara Falls and finished only a couple of days ago. I am very happy with the result :D
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.
