But I managed to finish it. I was hesitant at first using so much black, but on the other hand I think it makes the colours really pop, so I just went with it. Raw journaling, remember ....? Doing what I feel like at that moment, without too much thought of how it will look later on.
This time I saw all the figures right away. First the girl that's hanging in the air, her image was so clear that I couldn't ignore it. Then the big face on the left, and then the other faces. I love it when I see figures everywhere.
Here's the whole spread:
This week is a week full of promotions in my Society6-shop. Every day there are different promotions, and on top of that, until the 14th of December it's also free worldwide shipping and 5$ off every item in my shop! I made some new shirts this week. Takes a bit of time to get them all in my shop though. Here's one:
Also, every week another instructor from Soul Food is introduced here. Keep your eye on there, because every week there's a chance to win a free spot in Soul Food 2015!
Well, that's it for now. I'm linking this as always to Paint Party Friday. Thanks so much for visiting, and for leaving your lovely comments. I really appreciate it :-)
Here's my funny for this week:
oh yes, and don't I know it ... :-)
Hope you're having a good day, and a lovely weekend waiting for you! See you next time! ♥ ♥ ♥
Love your art journaling, really first class! Valerie
ReplyDeleteWow - these pieces are stunning! Love the colors...
ReplyDeletelove your pages this week. you're right, the black really does make everything POP on the page!!
ReplyDeleteAs usual I love your art and the wonderful colors, Denise. I like the black background on the first one because it does make the figure stand out so well. Thanks for the wonderful funny for the week. And it is so true!!!
ReplyDeletePrachtige pagina!! Mooie kleuren en ik vind het zwart wel een goede toevoeging. Fijn weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your page, the black does make it sing. That funny made me laugh it was me this morning when I got up and looked in the mirror.
ReplyDeleteIt's marvellous how you can coax these wonderful images out of your page and you achieve such unusual paintings. Love the girl hanging in the air with the purple flowers around.
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures.. I so love the black.. great effect!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF!
Happy weekend!

The black background is really effective. And that hair joke is funny!
ReplyDeleteI love the black in the background... it is one of my favourite devices for making colour pop off the page and you have used it so effectively... even your raw journalling is beautifully composed...xx
ReplyDeletewow, i love your pages! they are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteso fine that you saw the figures right off!
The black is really cool! LOVE your intuitive work - it is always amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh wow I just love that new journal page!! Stunning work!! I like how the faces are completely different...such a fun piece and I love black in artwork so much! Probably because it does make the colour pop!! Perfect quote too!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
Denise your journal spread is gorgeous! The black background, although scary at first turned out to be the perfect choice! Beautiful my friend!! xo
ReplyDeleteDenise - love those journal pages. It's good to just play and see what works and what doesn't - with no real expectations. The colors on the black background do really pop.
ReplyDeleteOh my the journal; page is marvelous ♥♥♥♥♥ That quote at the end is too... My hair screams at me about control every single day!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your work.
ReplyDeleteI used to follow you on milliande. I wish the sight had't closed, but I understand why she had to. I still follow her some.Wish I had time to share all her brilliant ideas. I am so glad I found you again and more of your art.
ReplyDeleteI used to follow you at milliande
ReplyDeleteFantastic journal page and the black really makes you focus in on your neutral figure. xox
ReplyDeleteLove your journal page and am so glad to see you on A Stand for Art Journaling! Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteawesome art journal page.
ReplyDeleteThe black is really effective. I like this piece-is quote dark (aside from the Black i mean) with the girl hanging in the air like that-what do you think it represents for you?
ReplyDeleteThanks Nic! The girl falling was the first thing I saw, and then I saw all the hands reaching out for her. And when I was looking for a quote, this one jumped out to me, because it told me what it represents for me: we are all connected by visible and invisible lines, and there's always someone willing to help and pick you up when it gets too much. Even though you feel like falling, there's help around you, even if you don't see it yet....
DeleteThese are really good! And I love the pastel coloured background on your blog, it is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDe eerste is een klasse apart prachtig,als je hier leest , Dente gaat als een speer.
ReplyDeleteje werken zijn zo mooi zo prachtig de kleuren zo vrolijk!
een groetje Christiene.
