Art Adventures #4

Art Adventure updates

This update comes a little bit late as we spent a couple weeks traveling in February so I had to play catch-up to get my art lessons done.  Luckily, I did do a little bit of sketching and journaling while I was on the road.   I’m still working on getting caught up in my Wanderlust class but I have a couple things to share.  Let’s get to it!

Release – Week 4

Week 4 of my art journaling class didn’t actually have a class.  There were some prompts for us to use in creating some pages one of which was “I’m ready for…”

Composition – Week 5

This week we talked about composition and unfinished pages.  I started several pages but the goal was to only start them so I decided to not include any pics yet here.

Love Letter – Week 6

This class was led by Amanda Grace.  The process was super fun and I really wish I had taken process photos or made a video because I enjoyed the in-between bits so much.  Note to self for future art journaling… This was my first attempt at doing a photo transfer.  It was super easy and worked well with my inkjet printer.  I think I’ll be doing that more in my journals.  It was also great fun to break out my oblique and bottle of ink.

Better an oops than a what if  – Week 8

This weeks prompt had to do with quotes.  Don’t think too much, just journal it.

Let the Paint Speak class

My painting class has wrapped up but I haven’t finished my paintings yet.  I have a couple more to go.  Actually, I started a painting of a girl with pigtails.  Love the colors.  It was coming along nicely and then it just got bad.  I got upset with her and painted over her.

She’s been put aside for now.

Junk Journal trinkets

I mentioned in my last post that I still had to add charms to my latest junk journal.  Well I am happy to report that I actually did get around to doing that! lol  *all the moms understand…  Here’s the end result:

I think that’s enough for now.  Be on the lookout for a post about my travel sketches soon!

    […] have to back up and add week 7 of Wanderlust!  Sorry I missed it in  the last update.  Claire Bremner taught a wonderful class on abstract floral painting. Her artwork is gorgeous.  […]
