I know I keep saying this, but I'll say it again: I've discovered I love working in art journals! Particularly other people's because I have a guide on what to do in them. In my own, I fluff around looking for inspiration...
Wendy's journal is hand made and about A5 size. To be honest, before this I'd never hear the term 'aphorism'. I learnt that it's a witty saying or proverb.
I decided I wanted to do a saying that I've used before, so came up with that old classic that's dished out when you've just had a break up: You'll be okay; there are plenty of other fish in the sea!
This was quite simple in execution: sponged background with circles dotted on for bubbles, painted mermaid and some grasses and fishies at the bottom. Outlined the writing in Micron pen and filled in with paint plus dots from a silver pen.
and a closer up look at the mermaid:
Hope you like it Wendy; it was a quick one but lots of fun to do!
Cheers, Lisa
Lisa you are such a wonderful artist and I love how you get so much into a page, without actually putting a lot of elements on it. Great idea and the mermaid will certainly find another fish to dally with.
