A quick journal page, which I did mainly to use up some paint, and to try out some new markers. An idea popped into my mind, an image, which led to this page. I love how pages in my art journal just develop, by themselves.
Don't become a part of the anonymous mass, but be yourself. Belief in yourself, and follow your own path, your passion to become who you want to be.
Be true to yourself, be the unique you. It can be hard work to follow that path, to find the voice to express yourself, to make and follow your choices, and make your dreams come true. But it's a path well worth pursuing. And keep, and keep going.
I bought these new pens a few weeks ago. They're acrylic paint markers, with a broad flat nip that allows you to make lines from fine to broad. They come in two sizes, these are the smaller ones. The bigger ones seem a bit too broad for my liking. But I like the lines you make with this size. Perfect for adding doodles, marks, drawings, writing... I'll have to get some more colours soon.
Linking up to the wonderful Paint Party Friday, a wonderful place filled with unique artist. Be sure to pop over and have a look!
Fantastic pages! I love the colors you selected, and the little leaves!

ReplyDeleteWonderful page and I love seeing the Liquitex paint markers...I haven't tried those yet!
ReplyDeleteI really like these pages - the colours you used are gorgeous for starters and the concept is really wonderful - I like the idea of not following the herd. You have also answered a question that was niggling me. I recently wondered if such a thing as acrylic paint pens existed as I wanted to be able to draw fine black outlines an find brushes a bit fiddly as the flow of paint isn't constant. I searched online and couldn't find quite what I was looking for - now I know they exist!! Thank you - can I ask where did you get them (Please say Amazon!!)
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for the info on Acrylic paint pens. I too have been wanting them. Guess I'll have to send for some. Need to find out where to order them from. Dick Blick may carry them. Love your page and the message it sends. Great job. Can you please let us know where you bought the pens? Thank you.

Fabulous pages!!Love all your doodling with the paint pens-I didn't know Liquitex made these but I'll be looking for them now :) Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI use the white paint marker for making highlights. It's wonderful to see how they can be incorporated into much more complex and beautiful works. I love that the individual is still so close to the crowd and only a change in position and attitude has made her glow. I love that she has an aura of green vines.
ReplyDeleteGreat concept to post with your beautiful journal pages.
ReplyDeleteLovely journal art! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI love your people - their shape is very evocative.
