Today's art endeavor started out a little slow. I wanted to make an art journal page but wasn't sure what to do. So I got some acrylic paint and started a background.
I really just used my hands and some other paper to smear the color around. It was kind of like finger painting, which was rather enjoyable. Once I was happy with it, I got kind of stuck as to what next. So I put it aside, and started to draw whatever came to me.
I ended up with this face. She is cute and I think I'd like to used her on something else eventually. She reminds me of a a flamenco girl or something. I used Prismacolor pencils to color her in.
Not having been satisfied with the days dose of art, and not really feeling it that much, I decided to start a mandala. Mandalas are a great! they get you focused in an inner guidance kind of way and they really get your creative juices going. When ever I'm in doubt, I create a Mandala.
I used all kinds of markers for the lines and colored in the white spaces with watercolor crayons. Then I painted the background with what seems my favorite color lately, and then I did something I rarely do. I wrote something! I usually don't do this unless is premeditated. Always knowing why I'm writing it in. This time I didn't, I closed my eyes, I took a big breath, and wrote whatever came as I put the marker down. It felt weird but in the end I'm quite happy with it. As I strive to follow my inner guidance.
That's it for me today
Much Love to All
