I've been missing here for a while. I've started a six month long creative Adventure with Kelly Rae Roberts. The course I'm taking is called Spirit Wings. By the time the course is done I will have completed six angel paintings.
I love art journaling and mixed media is part of all that. I wasn't so sure about painting faces, though that is a trend in art journaling these days. I don't think I would have gone the route of adding faces to my art if it hadn't been for this wonderful opportunity. The timing was great and Kelly Rae Roberts is a powerful course leader. So I showed up.
You can see my first painting above. It's pretty amazing because I would never have imagined I'd paint like that. My big dilemma was the wings. I had done the face and hair and realized that I didn't have a clue as to how the wings should go. I started cutting the features out of tissue paper. I thought if I wrote my meditations on the feathers using a white pen they would be invisible - a note just for me. Well, I was wrong about that. They show up well and I love the foggy aspect of them.
Looking forward to learning so much more in the next five months.
It's wonderful! I love the colors you chose, and how you chose to make the wings transparent. Isn't it wonderful that you learned something about yourself! I paint angel faces too, but I had no idea that there was a trend, or that I could take a course. xoxo Su
ReplyDeleteThanks, Su! It's amazing what we can learn about ourselves if we are open, isn't it? Check out Kelly Rae Roberts' site. It's a truly amazing experience. Part of it is what you learn about approaching the materials and part of it is about approaching yourself. I'm loving it.
