LESLEY ALEXANDER'S PAGE IN LISA JONES'S ART JOURNAL..JULY 2017.
I was excited to be the first person to paint in Lisa's art Journal. The theme of Lisa's Journal is Homage to art.The artist I decided to pay homage to was BANKSY even though it is not really known who BANKSY actually is ( there are a lot of suspicions ) he is quite famous for his street art.
I started my page with some torn papers..
followed by the use of lots of stencils and acrylic paints to randomly fill the page.
I then drew my circles and gave the rest of the page a light covering of white gesso, I used gesso instead of white paint because I wanted it to be more translucent .
I then used my favorite BANKSY stamps to fill the rest of the page.
- I also decided I would do a matching tag for each page that I do as an extra for the owners of each journal for them to use some other way .
Thank you Lisa for sharing your awesome with us.
