Prompt 7 for Dina Wakley's
Year of Gratitude
challenge is
Adventure.
Dina was encouraging us
to be adventurous,
to try something new.
At this very moment in time,
all I wish for is a very boring,
ordinary &
uneventful life,
however the world has different ideas.
So I adapted my approach for this journal page,
being as adventurous as I can
as faces are not my go to subject.
Four years ago, during ICAD
(the annual Index Card A Day event)
I worked through two of Dina's books,
Art Journal Freedom
&
Art Journal Courage.
I took inspiration from two of my index cards,
inspired by Art Journal Courage,
to make my own face stencil.
Then I used Dina Wakley Media
Acrylic Paint in Ruby & Lapis
mixed only with water
to add colour.
Words, as always, cut from an old novel.
I am working in a small
Black Cloth Hardback Sketchbook
by Seawhite of Brighton.
The paper is 140gsm.
You can see the two original index cards below.
Card 23
Card 29 - Listen to your heart
